Hello, i am never on this enough to ask for some guidance, but here's a shot.
I was wondering, is it possible to recover information on a "messed up" external hard drive?
More into depth, i have had this Seagate 1TB external hard drive and for some odd reason the 'master table' has failed. Me and my friend are trying to recover the data and we found some software that helped out a lot with reading the info on the 'EHD'.
So... without all the bullshit now, has anyone ever experienced this type of a problem before? Has anyone ever successfully recover their files from this terrible random event?

Of course, this shit sucks
>Has anyone ever successfully recover their files from this terrible random event?
It's not random, all drives fail eventually. Your biggest mistake was buying seagate as their hard drive crash rates are significantly higher. But no, I've never been able to recover files even off a WD dead drive because I've been unlucky enough to have the park head break down.

i see, i just bought a new 4tb western digital my passport. You think that will be better?

Repairing the MFT is easy, just google around a bit

the funny thing is that the "freeware" that my friend installed was reading the drive and all the files on it. I think there should be a way to remove all the files off of it and put them onto something else
