My Book Elements 1.5 TB bricked

I tried to restore some importatnt files but after trying at least six diferent recovery programs none of them managed to even recognize drive. I tried even SpinRite and Hirin Boot Cd but they quit after seeing drive as unformated. Partition is lost and my question is does someone know a recovery program which can work?

I pulled drive from casing and have it as bare bone SATA thinking it might something to do with serial USB connection but no avail.

Hello,

I recommend that you contact a Data Recovery company for this. If you have tried several recovery software and they don’t see the drive then its time to contact a professional.
