Day before yesterday, it showed some problem but due to lack of available space on my laptop, I could not transfer data.The very next day, it started responding badly, and at times it got stale. I had to forcefully disconnect it and restart laptop to get things going. In the evening I tried to copy the content to another external hard disk, but I was not able to access the content. Even I'm not able to click any content on the drive, I can only view them. The size of the drive and free space are correctly displayed.I executed chkdsk and Seagate data recovery tool, both got stuck at 70% and kept giving messages "bad sector xxxxxx" and "file segment xxxx unreadable".I have got prized memories of my life stored there along with many sensitive information. How can I save the data stored in it ? Please guide, thanks a lot ! Hi Paul,

How can I save the data stored in it ?
Please guide, thanks a lot !
