Barracuda locked by chkdsk

[ido]

Hi,

 

I am not sure what to do, I ran a

chkdsk C: /f /x /r

on my 7 months 3TB barracuda, it dismounted it, found a ton of bad clusters however it is taking forever to finish.

ETA is 21 hours I suspect because of the message: the disk does not have enough space to replace bad clusters ( picture )

I ran seatools but it cannot see the drive.

I am trying to salvage important data off of it but it is inaccessible.

Can I just reboot and try to see if I could access the files? or is there a better way may be?

Any help is appreciated.

 

Regards.

Bring is to a computer place with advanced software tools. The longer you run it, the more you will loose. Unplug it soon

Thanks Jrock, I am afraid bringing it to a computer place is not an option for me.

so If I unplug It reboot and try to use let's say getdataback I stand a better chance at getting those files?

Update:

Just restarting the PC, it mounted the drive again I could see the files and copy them to another drive with no issues. In this case no software was needed.
