So I have tired to restore folder by folder manually - I have ended up to restore one partition (10MB) 100% and second partition (70MB) about 60%. Then I have tried to dump that disk using TSGUI. First when I selected Full HDD Image it saves only 42MB RDF file which I can mount to WinUAE and I'm abl...

It may not but you not got many options..looks like it can't find track 0 , I would guess the heads are damaged or out of alignment.. Or the data has simply "faded away".. That what I have though - it looks like can't find a sector or a track. Header goes to some point then will park and restart di...

I would check to see if the drive is a self parking model first. If it is not and taping is is not a good idea until you know the head is parked. Taping it with the head out can cause the head to hit the media. I would look to run spinworks on it if you can Tom Yes, it was stuck in a self parking m...

You tried the 'bang the HDD against some wood' technique and it didn't work? That's really odd.

I have an old Conner 80MB HDD which was shelved for about 5 years and recently I have decided to get some old stuff from it.

Probably that setup will need CF adapter which has external power source like that one: https://www....

Yeah - I did run it as the admin other way it says Access Denied. Simple I'm not sure if WinUAE should to recognize more info or it is fine. Other options which are available: - IDE (auto) with ATA-1/ATA-2+/ATA-2-strict - UAE (uahef.device) which I think is related to "soft" HDD Disk info gave by Wi...

Well - as I have right now better access to real Amiga hardware with CF card I just dusted off my old A1200 HDD to see if I can recover anything from it. To get it done I have installed WinUAE running on Win7 and connected that HDD via ATA2USB cable. Windows recognized connected HDD (at least size o...

This could be a PSU problem, the TF card could well be tipping yours over the edge.

How can I verify that?
