![]() ![]() Lubuntu 201803171757 1.png Įrror 2678 occurred at disk power-on lifetime: 228 hours (9 days + 12 hours) The computer is a Sony Vaio running on Windows 8, with no sign of damage, the battery and power cord are both original and appear to be in good physical condition.Īlso, I see quite high numbers in the "G-Sense Error Rate" and "Free Fall Protection" fields : does that mean that the computer was seriously mishandled, or is that typical for a laptop computer with that kind of HDD ? (Most I've seen before for "G-Sense" was 5, on a 2.5" 500GB Seagate drive I bought used, which also reached a maximum temperature above 70☌, and which I don't trust for sensitive data for that reason, even though it has no bad sectors.) Is the drive safe to use again ? What could be the cause of those errors ? I made a quick search : it may be related to an inadequate power supply, or a bad cable/connector. GSmartControl indicates no reallocated or pending sectors, but there are several "Uncorrectable error in data" messages in the Error Log, at the same LBA. ![]() To be on the safe side, before attempting any "in place" fix, I removed the HDD and I'm currently imaging it with ddrescue : all goes well, about 3 hours to go. But it was reformated by the owner's father because the computer was acting up for an unknown reason : failed to boot, got stuck with an error message or a blue screen or whatever, I don't know the details. ![]() Someone asked me to recover data from a laptop computer HDD (Toshiba MQ01ABF050, 500GB) which, supposedly, has only been reformated by mistake. ![]()
