Other wise keep trying to use softwares. Use a unix based os like linux, ubuntu or OS X. Hope for the best.

Used a software called HDD Regenerator. It actually scanned the drive with bad sectors. And at the beginning it gave me a warning "Master Boot Record is damaged". Then it scans each sector. One sector takes like 5 minutes and the drive has like 1956739375983, I don't even know.
I'm not trying to reformat and use the drive again, I'm trying to retrieve the data, but doesn't seem like it's getting anywhere.
I managed to get windows to actually detect the drive if I unplug the cables and plug it back in while still in windows.
I contacted seagate and they said the best they can do is give me an identical drive for replacement. It's nothing really important, just movies, musics, and some document files.
