HDD : Toshiba MK4009GAL HDD1682 H ZM01

The HDD of video camera that goes under water.
An original PCB is completely out of order.

I exchanged PCB for donor's.
And I cleaned the inside of HDA.

As a result, DataExtractor came to be able to read data.
However, the video data is broken.

The sector read is shown in deep green in the Map tab.
And, the speed of the copy is considerably slow.

I do not understand the method though it is thought that
normal data can be extracted by adjusting the soupcon.

Does someone have the good idea?


I want to append the sample of the extracted data,
please teach me how to do it.


Best my regards.

Can you make sector maps of the chains of sectors where these specific files are present? Maybe you can try creating chain with increased read retries, maybe this may help you.

Hi, AJ2008!

Please teach me how to " make sector maps " ?
There are NO partitions.
I am trying raw recovery.

Thanks.

I think it will be very hard to get that file with RAW recovery, as the chances are very low.
It must be a big file.

Have you check what kind of file system does the drive has?

with data copy option enabled, select file/folder and in right click menu there is option 'make copy of object chain' or similar.

this is covered in DE manual, also I think Igor or Roustam can help on MSN if needed.

I also agree with datalabace, RAW recovery will not work. If the sectors containing the data are damaged, RAW recovery will not increase readability. Also, RAW recovery on movie files sometimes splits file into segments for one reason or another.
