Hard disk PATA damaged failed to read native max address (err_mask=0x1)
Hello,
I've a Maxtor HDD N40P (40GB PATA) damaged.
From BIOS, unit is detected correctly, however doesn't boot (no system disk error message).
Starting from Linux live distro, I see on dmesg the following errors:
[ 9.257576] ata3: PATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0x1f0 ctl 0x3f6 bmdma 0xd000 irq 14

So at hardware level, disk is detected but I'm not able to access to partitions.
Gparted doesn't recognize the device.
Is there a way to recover this hard drive ?
Thanks a lot.

It will be a waste of time, and do more damage. The message indicates catastrophic media failure. It isn't as if you just have a few bad blocks. The disk is reporting that the media is unreadable in its entirety.
There isn't a software product on the planet that can fix this. You need a lab.

However before send the unit to the lab, I would like to try with some software that can do surface analysis, or check at low level.
Thank you.
