Hi people
VERY VERY GOOD NEWS. I was able to recover the entire disk.
All my data are back.
What I did: as mentioned by many, I removed the drive and plugged directly to a
SATA controller.
Peter, your posts are very relevant. The utilities mentioned are very helpfull.
My problem is solved and I learned the lesson. Now I have two backups.
I would like to thank your for the help, and if you come to Brazil, let me know
for a barbecue. My helpers are especially invited.
Best Regards. Rogerio.

Hi Rogerio,
1) The drive in question is a Seagate FreeAgent Go - Part Number: 9KW2AH-500
(so you can google it)

5) About connect directly to the SATA port. You mean open the case, take
physical disk and connect it to a sata port?Exactly, like done here:

What kind of cables do I need? Could you send me the link again to feel the
idea?You'll need an ordinary SATA and SATA power cable, like for connecting any
other SATA disk to a desktop computer.

I have a dell latitude E6410You'll need a desktop computer to connect the SATA
drive directly. You can only connect it to the laptop using an extra converter
/ adapter.
Best regards,
Peter
