I had a similar problem with my hard drive before. It was completely unrecognizable with all the data inside. I tried many methods, such as restarting and changing interfaces, but none of them worked.

If you haven't found a solution yet, you can try this tool. I hope it can help you!
When recovering data from dead hard drive involves the chkdsk command. It's a useful tool, but running it on a problematic drive can be a double-edged sword. Sometimes it's trying to fix things, but it can end up making files even worse or unrecoverable. If you're not familiar with the command and what it does, you might inadvertently make things worse. I've seen people end up with more headaches after running chkdsk than they had before!
