Thanks maximus for your help. I finished my recovery, great tool. I am gonna start using it with my failing disks!

Finally I managed to recover the rest of my disk on my holidays. Everything but the badblocks (the disk was in a 'good' shape after all). I read the documentation of HDDSuperClone and tried it. I had some problems with my BIOS (a bit old) and my SATA disk couldn't work as IDE but because there...

I didn't knew that HDDSuperclone managed that kind of errors so well. I am happy for learning more about HDDSuperClone so I've read some threads and it looks like it gives you more control of what is happening and manage errors in a more complex way so I gonna read its manual because it looks...

Sorry, I was in a travel and I didn't bring my computer... so sorry for not answering before. Thanks a lot for your words and help, invaluable!. I've learnt a lot about PIO. Now I am back to my place I am gonna continuo the recovery process. Is interesting to know I can export my ddrescue log...

WOW thanks a lot for your explanation maximus I am learning a lot about this topic, I just had curiosity about using PIO mode because I heard and read from diferent data recovering professionals that using PIO mode can get diferent results when you are reading badsectos. Where UDMA fail PIO...

I was asking one question about PIO mode in other thread and then I heard that HDDSuperClone allows you to use PIO mode on your drives. Is it correct?. Also, if anyone know if is possible to enable PIO mode at SO level in a SATA disk (in linux). Here is the post where I asked the question...

I'm more interested in ddrescue or much better to enable it at SO level not at software level but is interesting to know HDDSuperclone can do that... I'll look into it too. I'm aware of that possibility on Windows. I did it in the past in Windows 7 but I'm interested in do that in linux. Also...

Yes, it's more for usual work with an imaging software. In order to be recognized as PIO device in a Linux environment and then try to do the imaging process with a specific software like ddrescue or anything similar.... Yeah, I never used a PC-3000 (I am in a learning process in the...

Just out of curiosity is it posible to set PIO mode in SATA disks or they are only DMA/UDMA compatible? does it support it?. I used PIO mode in the past in the IDE drives (wich are compatible with PIO and DMA), but i don't know if it is possible to work in pio with SATA disks nowdays...

The first pass is always a good idea, because you avoid the scrapping face over the badblocks, so that pass you rescue everything you can and then you do another one over the same image file srapping the bad sectors found. If the head/s of your HDD has some kind of problem or is close to...
