The less you work with the drive which is apparently dying, the higher chances to restore the data successfully. You can create an image of the drive to avoid working with the drive. Once the image is created, you may open this image to restorer lost data as it was the actual drive. You may create the image for a partition/logical disk, or the part of, or entire hard drive. Read the Image section in the Restorer2000 help to learn how to create and work with images. Please note that to store an image file you need free space equal to at least the size of the object which image you want to create. You may specify the number of attempts to read bad sectors in the Read Attempts option (the Tools menu -> Options -> the Main tab). The fewer the number of read attempts, the fewer chances that Restorer2000 will read data from the bad sectors successfully.
