I've got a SeaGate model ST2000DM001 with literally a handful of files on it that I need to pull.
While streaming a movie over my WiFi it quit working, Windows still recognized it, but gave "file could not be found" error when trying to open anything.
On reboot the OS stalled and CHKDSK ran, it found errors in every single sector on the disc - I did not let it continue past Step 1.
I tried swapping out the SATA cable ports with no success.
I've run the SeaGate Disk Recovery solutions program through DOS and I'm immediately given error code A7689B42 - which I can find nothing about in a Google search. It states "drive does not respond."
When I skip the DSKCHK on bootup with Windows, everything just lags out continously, Explorer stops responding, then reboots - but nothing runs. The drive is there, but I can't open it.
I've tried using HIREN to do checks for bad sectors, but nothing comes back.
The BIOS definitely recognizes the drive is there, I simply cannot get into it to pull the data off of it.
The only thing I haven't done yet is throw it in a freezer bag for a few hours then try running it again to see if it's locked up, but when I put my hand on it I can definitely feel it spin up on a boot of the PC.
I've also tried plugging it into another motherboard, the other motherboard does not recognize the drive (at least not in Windows.)
Does anyone have a solution on how I can get into this damn thing and pull some files off of it? I had my DropBox tied into it and there are some important pictures in there I'd like to get back without sending it out to someone who does this professionally and paying $300 for 20 MB of data.
