Re: Help on data recovery from a damaged external hard drive


Does lsusb list the drive in its output?

No

I'd open the case and check
for loose connections or damaged circuit boards.

Nothing worked :(

I see...


I'll bring the disk to a data recovery center and see what quote they
come up with. I have a backup of the most sensitive data, but not of
the whole content. After all, the only way to backup a 1 TB hard drive
would be... to buy a second 1 TB hard drive - at least for my budget:
tape backups are too expensive.

Thanks anyway for the clarifications!
