"Hard drive data recovery"
Need help with hard drive data recovery?
If you have lost the data on your hard drive, the only thing that helps is hard drive data recovery. You may think that this is very complicated. But even laymen can do it. In this article we would like to show you how to recover the data on your hard disk properly.
What are the sources of error?
Before you can perform hard disk data recovery, you need to know which error caused the problems. To make it easier for you, we will list the most common errors.
Damage
It can always happen that your hard drive falls off them. Even a small fall can damage your hard drive. Other damages can come from so-called "fatigue symptoms". Fatigue symptoms of a hard disk is that the components of the hard disk are worn out too much over a period of time to still function.
In addition, very strong current fluctuations or overvoltages can cause the circuit board and the controller inside the hard disk to fail.
Logical errors
Logical errors are often the cause of lost data. Logical errors can occur during company updates. For example, the RAID system of the hard disk can be damaged if the update has damaged the hard disk. A logical error can also lead to the loss of an entire part of a hard disk, the so-called "partition".
Can I save my hard drive data myself?
You may be able to recover your data yourself. We explain how you can do this even as a layman.
If the error is a logical one where data has been deleted, you can recover your data using the Windows shadow copy. The Windows shadow copy is a program that automatically saves backups of your data. To use this shadow copy, right-click on your desktop and select "Restore previous version". Now a menu will open in which you can see which backups have been made automatically by Windows. Simply select the backup that contains your data.
Logical errors, where a partition has been deleted, can be restored using free programs on the Internet. Choose the program you like best. But be sure to use a copy of the drive for the recovery, otherwise the remaining partitions of the drive may be lost.
Mechanical problems are the most difficult to solve in hard disk data recovery. Very rarely you can repair mechanical errors yourself, as the risk of total data loss is far too high. However, you can prevent further damage to the hard disk.
If the computer does not recognize the hard disk, you hear strange noises from the hard disk or the hard disk reacts very slowly, then this can be an indication of mechanical damage.
If one of these cases applies to your hard disk, then remove the hard disk from the computer so that no further damage can occur that will make the data disappear permanently. In the case of mechanical failures, most people have no choice but to seek help from a professional.
You want to work on your computer, but when you turn it on you only see a black or blue screen. The picture remains the same for the following attempts.
If you have this experience, it is most likely because the hard drive is not working.
