Recovering Crashed Hard Drive

Filed under: Backup Best Practices — wayne @ 12:16 pm

The two biggest issues for the computer owners, especially business owners, are data hacking and hard drive crash. Prevention practices are being deployed so as to reduce the risks. When it comes to hard drive crash, user loses all the business critical records and information including documents, spreadsheets, access databases, music files, photos and others. Thus knowing the way to acquire hard disk recovery is the key term for business continuation and survival.

In almost all the hard disk crash cases, user can’t calculate the exact amount of lost data; just a rough estimation remains as data loss extent is large. The main causes causing hard disk crash include physical damage, file system corruption, virus attack, operating system corruption, unintentional disk formatting and user errors. But, the actual conditions are not as dire as appear to be. Hard drive recovery solutions have made recovery easier than ever. Apart from physical data loss cases, hard disk recovery is easily feasible through software utilities.

The reason why you can’t read and access data in such cases is the loss of file system entries and hard drive internal’s functionality in logical and physical data loss cases respectively. But, hard disk recovery software and service let you access lost data through the corresponding set of procedures i.e. scanning through software and manual repair and recovery through  hard drive recovery services.

Hard disk recovery software are the ‘Do-It-Yourself’ utilities to make data available. The limitations are that they can’t recover overwritten data, so hard drive recovery experts say that you should plug off the system quickly after data loss.

In case of physical crash, failed hard drive is needed to be sent to expert centre. Technicians analyze the exact status of problem and conclude hard disk recovery chances. The downsides of the service are the cost and time required. The process is complex, where internals are to be dealt with great care and expertise and that’s the reason why hard drive recovery is expensive and protracted.

Hard disk recovery solutions become vital to be used when the data backup fails or has not been taken at all. After using the tools, you can safely transfer recovered information to the same or replaced (after physical crash) hard drive.

  5. If you have a hard drive crash, you can get this device:
    http://www.topmicrousa.com/bt-300.html

    It can access the files on it if you connect your old hard drive to it, and the other end – a usb cable – to your computer, you can back up those files.

    I got it off a PC World article.

    Best of luck
