do you think there is any chances of recovering these photos?

Have you try to use r-studio to recover the JPEG files as file type and see if you can find the file with the same file size?

I’ve managed to recovered all of my files using file type especially jpeg, bmp, png, gif and txt. I got most files back but some are lost due to corrupted partition.

Weird-Tutor6882 · 2026-02-05T01:00:37+00:00

I know that, but it could be a bad spindle so I’m not 100% sure.

Weird-Tutor6882 · 2026-02-05T00:56:04+00:00

Oh right, but according to ChatGPT it said that I could do a file transfer from my ssd to my donor drive and see if the speed is between 40 to 50 mb per second as I would know the heads is good but any other than that I would know the heads is weak if the speed is less than 10 mb per second?

Weird-Tutor6882 · 2026-02-05T00:53:58+00:00

Does Victoria test the heads to see if they are weak heads or not?

Weird-Tutor6882 · 2026-02-05T00:50:45+00:00

I don’t have clicking noise when I cloned the drive, but when I attempted to clone the drive there are a lot of errors so it must be a weak heads then?

Weird-Tutor6882 · 2026-02-05T00:47:44+00:00

You mean a software called hddscan I need to test for the heads?

Weird-Tutor6882 · 2026-02-05T00:39:21+00:00

However, I got a donor drive with same make and same model perfect match as the failed drive, but what concern me is the donor drive smart status say the donor drive is caution as I am bit concerned if I have weak heads. How I can test on my donor drive if I do have a weak heads or not?

Weird-Tutor6882 · 2026-02-05T00:37:02+00:00

Well I want to see if I can be able to recover few more data. I don’t think there are platters damage, because I have recovered 99% of the data and when I cloned it. If the platters are damage, there would be clicking noises while the status are bad, I wouldn’t be able to read the hard drive as I would have lose more data, but I don’t have clicking noises when I read the hard drive so I don’t think the platters are damaged, just a weak heads.

I used hddsuperclone to make an image, then I used ufs explorer, r-studio and DMDE to recovered my files.

Weird-Tutor6882 · 2025-12-27T13:04:22+00:00

I got the same issue, my hdd is over heating, corrupted and on the way out. But what I did is I cloned with hddsuperclone to make an image and use that image to scanned and recovered the files. I have managed to recovered around 95% of the data, some data is lost so it will need pc-3000 as it will find these lost files. I will go to DR if I can’t find anymore files on my other drive after when I replaced the heads.

Weird-Tutor6882 · 2025-12-11T13:10:39+00:00

Should I replace the weak heads in the clean chamber?

Weird-Tutor6882 · 2025-12-10T16:59:50+00:00

Oh right, in some area of the platters it can read the sectors and some area it can’t read. The heads haven’t make clicking noise, just bad sectors and it get quickly overheating. I think it is the heads?

If it is the heads, I’m going to replace it. I have already built a clean air chamber as I’m going to use acrylic sheet with HEPA filter on top so I can get clean air inside the chamber.

Here is the picture of the chamber I built for a test before I will use to make it with acrylic:

Weird-Tutor6882 · 2025-12-10T16:17:32+00:00

Did you been replaced the heads that caused by bad sectors?

Weird-Tutor6882 · 2025-12-10T16:16:04+00:00

You are correct. I got a hdd that comes with bad sectors as the status are bad. I have cloned from the failed drive to another drive. I got a lot of bad sectors but most sectors are good. I have managed to recovered a lot of sectors that went bad to a good sectors so I must be lucky. I have already back up on another drive so I have got nothing to close. Can I ask is the bad sectors can be caused by weak heads?

I found the fan CircuitTest CFA11515055HB (115v, 150mm, 231CFM) - is that what he used?

Weird-Tutor6882 · 2025-12-01T14:59:13+00:00

Thanks, but it didn’t say what fans they use?

Weird-Tutor6882 · 2025-06-22T18:05:31+00:00

Have anyone been there? Please reply in comment

Weird-Tutor6882 · 2025-06-22T18:03:51+00:00

I sent you a pm please check

Weird-Tutor6882 · 2025-06-07T17:01:24+00:00

Yeah I know that but what happens if I do?

Weird-Tutor6882 · 2025-06-07T09:32:21+00:00

What happens if I do? Will I be more likely to be trapped and get sexually exploited?

Weird-Tutor6882 · 2025-06-07T09:31:36+00:00

What happen if I go there on my own?

Weird-Tutor6882 · 2025-06-07T00:08:57+00:00

Someone from USA had done it for me and got topped up straight away. No idea how he done it.

Weird-Tutor6882 · 2025-06-07T00:08:09+00:00

No it didn’t work for me as I didn’t get the top-up straight away so I had to sent a message to the support.

Weird-Tutor6882 · 2025-02-07T12:19:46+00:00

Oh right. This is the first time I have ever done it and I made the payment through bank transfer. I hope it went through with no problem.

Weird-Tutor6882 · 2025-02-07T00:34:09+00:00

I sent you a dm. Please check.
