Free Evaluation
This drive was a crucial storage device for our client, used
extensively over time. Unfortunately, it became inaccessible without warning,
failing to mount on the client's Mac. Our free evaluation identified multiple
issues: bad sectors and weak read-write heads. These problems often result from
prolonged use and can lead to significant data loss if not addressed promptly.
Data Recovery Process
- Firmware
Access: We used the advanced PC3000 tool to access the drive's
firmware/service area. This initial step is critical for diagnosing and
addressing the underlying issues without causing further damage.
- Parameter
Loading: By loading essential parameters from the service area, we
ensured that the data recovery process would proceed smoothly. This step
helps stabilize the drive and sets the stage for accurate data retrieval.
- Service
Area Backup: To safeguard against any potential data loss during
recovery, we backed up all critical service area information. This
precautionary measure is crucial in protecting the drive's integrity
throughout the recovery process.
- Head
Map Creation: We developed a detailed head map, an essential tool for
precise data recovery. This map allows us to accurately track and manage
the drive's read-write heads, facilitating efficient and effective data
retrieval.
- Data
Recovery and Cloning: With meticulous care, we recovered the client's
critical data, focusing primarily on irreplaceable photos. We then created
a full clone of the hard drive, ensuring the recovered data remained
intact and providing the client with a complete backup for future use.

Read Errors: Throughout the recovery process, we encountered and
resolved numerous read errors. By addressing these issues promptly and successfully
cloning the majority of the sectors, we maximized the quality and
completeness of the data recovery, ensuring that no valuable information
was lost.
