Is it possible to recover data from a NTFS disk if sector
#0 is unreadable or BOOT sector is invalid?
I have tried Easy recovery pro but it don't work properly
in this case.
Thanks,
Anders

Yes, tho it may be tricky.

1) The HD is sick - so get everything off there!

Not talking "smart" imaging here (if the smart imager can't see the
partitions) but a raw all-sectors dump from the dying HD to a good
one. Then, having fought that battle, you can fight the next safely.

2) Once on a good HD, recreate the broken structures

Various tools can safely re-create MBR, boot sector and other file
system structures. FDisk is NOT one of those tools.

Er... some assembly required :-)
