If your Seagate hard drive has suffered from a fall or is reporting unrepaired LBAs via tools like SeaTools, we can help you recover your valuable files—even if the drive is no longer recognised by your system.
With over 25 years of experience, we are trusted by students, researchers, businesses, and IT professionals across the UK.
⚠️ Case Example: Seagate ST3750630AS with Bad LBAs and Volume Loss
A student contacted us after their 750GB Seagate ST3750630AS hard drive was knocked off a desk during a gathering. The drive contained over a year’s worth of university research data, but after the impact:
- SeaTools reported Bad LBA 0 and Bad LBA 249
- Test results showed unrepaired sectors
- Partition table and MBR (Master Boot Record) were unreadable
- Drive capacity showed as zero GB
- Each subsequent scan revealed more bad sectors
Despite these alarming signs, the data was still recoverable using our advanced techniques.
🛠️ Our Seagate Recovery Process for Damaged and Corrupted Drives
Here’s how we approach this type of Seagate recovery scenario:
1. Initial Drive Assessment
- Drive examined for signs of mechanical damage and surface degradation.
- SMART data and error logs reviewed to assess severity of sector failure.
2. Imaging in Safe Mode
- Performed sector-by-sector imaging using hardware-level imager to safely bypass bad sectors.
- Multi-pass recovery applied to retrieve marginal sectors without further degrading the platters.
3. Partition Table & File System Rebuild
- Missing partition and MBR were reconstructed manually using raw sector data.
- Logical file system rebuilt from metadata remnants.
4. Data Recovery & Integrity Check
- Extracted documents, spreadsheets, research files, and photos.
