I have an external Docking station for my old SATA seagate ST3500620AS 500GB hard drive and put it on there and power it on my new pc. Once my pc detects the usb external device I get pop up windows for each partition on my old HDD telling me that each drive needs to be formatted. I click cancel cause I don't want to lose the data from that HDD even though it no longer boots up Vista on my old pc neither does it ask me to use Startup repair anymore when I try to boot my old pc with the old hard drive.
I have used the manufacturer's HDD Diagnostic tool (seatools for dos) and after the repair it told me I had about 60 something bad sectors. So now I know what's wrong with it. I'm trying to use Spinrite to recover my data but it stays stuck at 0% on level 2. I have no S.M.A.R.T. monitor capabilities on Spinrite even though I have SMART enabled and status of SMART is ok in the bios. I cannot change the emulation of my Sata controller in the bios so Spinrite could detect it it only allows me to enable or disable it.
However, I have checked my Hard drive on my new pc using the docking station with an app called CrystalDiskInfo and allows SMART monitor capabilities with the use of an external USB hard drive. After scanning it showed my Hard drive was 36*C and it's health status was at "Caution". The old HDD is back in the old pc using Spinrite but it's taking hours and has not moved. The only time it moved a bit of blocks in the Graphic Status display was when I stopped it wrote down the starting point and began to repair it again on level 4 where I left off and even after those processed blocks it's only NEAR 1%.
Right now I'm using level 2 operation and i'm on cylinder 147 and head 115. The Dynastat data recovery graph shows a straight red line with dots in between in the middle of the graph where a question mark lies. Anyone here who has any experience using Spinrite can help me with any suggestions or tell me what the hell is going on why hasn't Spinrite showed a recovered data from a sector on the graphic status display?
