Its far from clear that there actually is an undamaged area of the disk. If the fall caused some damage that produced a head crash when the drive was used after the fall, there may well be a significant amount of debris floating around inside the drive and thats whats producing the symptom you are seeing of it become more and more inaccessible. > I tried the WD low-level format/erase tools, tried almost all the > tools provided on the UBCD 5 but none of these tools work. What do you mean by work ? Nothing will allow you to use the undamaged area of the disk if there is no undamaged area of the disk because debris is floating around in the drive. > I am pretty sure that my HDD is unrecoverable Yep, bet it is. > but if anyone one know a tool which could help me, he would be welcome !
