What read options are active? Do you know the problem with the case?

If that empty sectors represents a folder or file then the file may have an entry in MFT but actual data looks gone, unless reading is made with error or there is some underlying problem somewhere.

But if HDD is healthy with no problems and you are reading with normal read options, then maybe the data is not recoverable where sectors are empty...

I had used "default" options
ie read UDMA66 , then I used " Do not use Hardware retries",.

Either is erased at the surface, or could be part of some multi-disk unit or array system?

Can elaborate little more, please?.. and any solution ?
