I have a WD 2tb hdd which recently failed, it makes a clicking noise but still spins. It is found in the bios, device manager and in linux but I cant mount the disk and it gives 49 currently unreadable sectors. I tried dd rescue onto my 3tb ntfs hdd with the following command ddrescue -f -d -r3 /dev/xxx /dev/yyy /path/to/logfile it starts up but nothing transfers it gets 1 error and this error goes up to a size of 2tb?? then tries Trimming but this also is to no avail. Is this hdd declared dead? Should i now try the freezer trick? Any help would be appreciated. -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Error-Size--tp35328193p35328193.html Sent from the Gnu - ddrescue mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
