My 1T seagate external hard drive is on its last leg i think Whenever i click on it it says "parameter is incorrect".

I tryed running EASEUS Data Recovery program but could get anything back using it.

Any ideas as to what i could try please??

Thanks

What you do next depends on how important the data is to you - if it's critical then I'd first try to clone the drive so that you can't do any damage to chances of retrieving files during recovery attempts.

How does the drive show up under Disk Management? If the file system is shown as "RAW" then you may have a corrupt boot sector and/or partition table - testdisk may help.
