Data Recovery
When your hard disk has failed, it is wiser to leave the recovery to a professional data recovery company for example
MjM Data Recovery Ltd in the UK.
Hard disk drives can fail for a range of reasons and the symptoms for the failure are few.
The broken hard disk will .
- Spin as normal but your data is inaccessible - Logical Problem
- Not Spinning - Most likely an Electronics Problem or seized motor.
- Spinning but makes clicking noises - Possibly a Head Failure
- Spinning but make grinding sounds - Possible head crash or motor failure.
When the hard disk is spinning as normal but you cant see your data, then the liklihood is that there are logical problems. Did scan-disk run during start up?, or did you recently remove some old files? Has your computer become infected with a virus?
When the hard disk is not rotating, then your hard disk drive will need either electronics work it or will need opening in a clean room. MjM Data Recovery Ltd have the facility to recover from either of these problems.
If the hard disk drive is making ticking noises then this indicates a more serious problem and will most likely need opening up in a clean room to find out precisely what has goner wrong. Never open a hard disk yourself, especially if the data has any value.
When the hard disk drive is making grinding noises then this is indicitive of a major failure. More than likely a head crash or spindle failure.
Whatever the problem is, there is still a chance of recovering the data if the drive is sent to data recovery specialists.
