I did manage to solve this problem. First, I managed to make a copy of the damaged drive using Clonezilla. I came across this video tutorial. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0L2vCS-dV-M True, it cost me $97.95, but that's nothing compared to taking the disc to a technician. I risked losing my files ...

I tried chkdsk but it didn't work.

I connected it to other PCs, but nothing....
I even took it out of the box and connected it directly to a PC via SATA interface.

Previously, the drive was in the FAT file system and now it shows up as RAW.

My external hard drive has stopped working. The disc is no longer readable . When I connect the disc to my computer, the system asks me to format it.

There are very important files on the disc.

Does anyone know how to help me?
