Need Help saving Data on Seagate Momentus 7200.4 320 GB

[mdavidthomas]

I the above drive and it experienced a large shock which has caused drive problems:  Not sure where to start but the drive sometimes shows up in Windows 7 and sometimes not.  It had 2 partitions and when they show up on the computer they both show up and there is a popup that says they must be formatted.  I tried to run NTI backup to clone the drive one to one but all the sectors said "read error" so I quit after ~15 mins.  Now the backup drive is showing similar problems in that it doesn't show up in windows; however, the backup drive does pass the seatools test whereas the short and long test fails immediately on the Seagate drive.

 

 

Model:  ST9230423AS

PN: 9HV14E-022

FW: 0006HPM1

 

Edit: Forgot one thing.....the drive was encrypted with bitlocker, but I do have the password

 

Any help greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks,
