Joint efforts of Sherwood Team HDD Repair and Research Group participants resulted in development of new methods of data recovery from Seagate laptops storages.
A very interesting case. I was asked to recover information from the Seagate 7200.7 ST3160827AS. When inspecting it I noticed that disc was severely damaged.
A client brought a USB flash drive A-Data for recovery of information. At the try of disc access the system creates a message about absence of access to the disc and proposes to start the formatting procedure.
I got a bad Western Digital WD4000KS Zeus for information recovery.
Data recovery from the storage Seagate ST3500630AS 7200.10 vol. 500 Gb. At power on, engine noisily accelerates, and position actuator raps against the stop.
