Any hope for data recovery after unsuccessful partition recovery?

Thread needs solution

Sorry if I am posting this in the wrong forum.

I was running WIn 10 on my Lenovo laptop when it froze. I tried a hard reboot. 

Win 10 would not load and the laptop froze at the Lenovo logo.

A friend ran Acronis Disk Director on the HDD for me and "recovered" 2 partitions. Now the HDD (in external case) is unreadable even though the drive seems to be recognized.

The typical message I see is:   [Drive Letter]:\ is not accessible
The request failed due to a fatal device hardware error

Is there any hope of ever recovering any data from the HDD?

If so, what can I do?

Thanks

Hello Don,

If you don't have any backup to restore from, you may want trying to retrieve data with the help of the third-party data recovery tools (check on web, there are several guides on the websites of the tools vendors). Acronis also offers one called Acronis Revive 2019 

Thanks.  I tried the demo of Revive to see if it would find any files before buying the full program but it seems unable to find anything.

Hi there! Sorry to hear about the issues you're facing with your Lenovo laptop. Don't worry about posting in the wrong forum - we're here to help however we can!

Regarding your question about recovering data from the HDD, it's possible that there's still hope, but it's hard to say for sure without more information.
