Hi guys, a friend of mine got the wonderful idea to let the macbook fall down form the table. The bonus? No hard disk working.
So I'm trying to helping him by using testdisk and photorec to recover this HFS partition. The problem is that some physical damage let the analysis time be pretty long (something like a year...)
Anyway with test disk I finished the test and I got some bad sector (error reading sector).
The question is: is there some way to let the broken sector not analyzed or I should wait so long in any case? As I have no formatted data maybe I can use directly phptorec or is better use testdisk in this case?
What you suggest?

Thanks a lot.

Here 2 screenshot after the analysis.
