Sorry, but not a DIY case. Hopefully it is just a firmware issue, but likely caused by media damage.

When seeking a local pro, it should cost less than $500, assuming the heads aren't toast. With PC3000 and some knowledge of Seagate drives, it shouldn't be too hard.

If you let me know where you are situated, I might know of a local lab worth trying.

I don't have a lot of data recovery contacts in India. But, there is one lab that I do assist remotely, from time to time, that might be able to help.

As I've never been there, nor know the them any more than a few remote support sessions, use them at your own risk. If they do a great job, then I take full credit for that. In all seriousness, if you do use them (or another lab), please report back your experience.
