The hard drive that I wanted to repair was a Seagate ST31000340NS, 1000 GBytes. It was connected to my Windows 10 machine externally using a Sabrent enclosure with a USB interface.
The drive was from a client's server for which they neglected to observe that mirrored drives had failed to the point that the two mirrored drives and a hot spare had all died. I was trying to recover some of their files because they apparently had not been backing up their data regularly.

The parameter is not correct.' For this third disk I went to CMD and typed 'chkdsk F: /r/f', which gave three stages of messages. Stage 1 showed the number of files processed and that 0 bad file records processed. Stage 2 said 0 unindexed files scanned and 1 unindexed files recovered to lost and found. Stage 3 checked security descriptor and processed files, then said 'A disk read error occurredc0000483.
It then said 'Insufficient disk space to fix the Usn Journal $J data streem.' This basically said to me that the drive is not easily recoverable.
