Hi
I have a Toshiba MK1059GSM drive which i'm going to recover data from.
an NTFS boot sector is found at sector 504 , but the status is marked as RED and nothing is recovered.
when connecting the device as universal , i got the following message:
ATTENTION! DEVICE HAS 8 LOGICAL SECTORS PER PHYSICAL SECTOR
what's wrong with the device ? is it possible to recover the data?

this massage is not a problem.
you can see it in almost of new hdd's.
it means that in every physical sector there are 8 logical sector's,and it is new method to save more date on smaller surface of plotter's in new hdd's.
mean less plotter with more area to save data.
