A friend of mine dropped off a WD Portable 2TB with me that has failed, it shows in Windows as unallocated and can be seen by the 5 restore tools I’ve tried, in every case it finds loads of photos but they are all corrupted and won’t open, am I missing a trick here or is the disk finished with?

    What does the output from chkdsk #: /X look like? (# is the target volume letter)

    If all else fails, SpinRite. If that can’t recover the data, probably nothing can.
