Hello thnx for ur answer,
i have stop using it now because of too many bad sectors but it was in use for more than 5 months after the format.i think i had used recuva too but active file recovery i think its more proffessional .
maybe u remeber the name of the company ??
Which company?
That being said: if you've used the HD for 5 months and it already has a lot of bad sectors, i don't think the odds are in your favour here...
I'd personally suggest you to use dd (like i said in my first post) to save as much data as you can, then start looking for the seed phrase or an other backup method... If nothing works, it doesn't hurt asking for a quote from a professional disk recovery company... The odds of recovering a file on a broken disk that has been used for at least 5 months are small...
If you get a quote from a professional file recovery company, it's up to you to decide wether the costs outweigh the benefits... Also, i'd suggest finding a "no cure, no pay" company... That way you can minimise your costs in case they can't help you either.
EDIT:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_erasure#Number_of_overwrites_neededIf i'm not mistaking, the department of defence usually overwrites a disk with 0's, then with 1's then with random data... At this point, nobody (not even a 3 letter agency) should be able to recover any data.
Depending on the usage of the disk in the last 5 months, several sectors *might* have been overwritten numerous times. On the other hand, if you just used the disk to backup a couple of very small files and never touched it afterwards, you might have a fighting chance.
