The hard drive in question is a 1TB Western Digital Caviar Blue.
It fails to recognize the Windows partition, has corrupt sectors and will not mount.
Windows Boot Manager
Status: 0xc000000f
Info: The boot selection failed because a required device in inaccessible.
A BIOS update from MSI was tried for this motherboard.
The MSI screen would not recognize the exact same USB that recognizes Hiren's Boot CD.
That is, for the BIOS update. After clearing the USB and moving the BIOS update files to it.
The Hiren's Boot CD files were moved back onto this USB (thumb drive) have an old 2012 WIP version of TestDisc and PhotoRec. There were hopes to use those programs to recover information from this drive, but the results do not provide an option to store partitions on anything but an r:/ section. We barely understand 2012 TestDisc and PhotoRec, and also the DOS/Winx9 download of the latest TestDisc/Photorec would not load from the USB. The error that there's no detectable partition.
What's more, this MSI b75ma-p45 has a load-up menu screen interface. It offers the suggestion of HDD backup, but won't work without a program called "Winki" being installed in Windows. Windows won't come up, because of the corrupted drive.
We have brought this hard drive into stores that allegedly repair computers, and were willing to pay the price they wanted to recover as much information as they could. They have refused, excusing their technicians for "not having the right programs". This drive is very likely not physically damaged. The corrupt sectors seem to be due to software issues.
The files on the drive are very important. We are an entire family that needs them back.
Any help is much appreciated. Any further information you need will be provided if that's possible.
