Data recovery from a dead hard drive
Restoring data from a dead hard drive can be a difficult task, but in some cases it is possible to return part or all of the lost files. Here are some steps you can take to request data recovery:
1. Check the connection and cables: Make sure that your hard drive is properly connected to the computer and check the condition of all connections.
2. Use a second USB/SATA port: If you use a portable storage device (HDD/SSD), try changing the USB or SATA port on your desktop computer.
3. Run data recovery software: There are various programs for restoring deleted files such as Recuva, TestDisk & PhotoRec, EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard, and others.
4. Seek the help of a professional: If the above methods do not give results or if the data are very valuable to you, it is best to seek the help of a specialist in solving data problems.
However, it is worth noting that the success of the operation depends on the specific damage to the hard disk and the availability of information on it. In the case of serious physical damage, such as a breakdown of the mechanical part of the disk or malfunctions of the controller, professional equipment and services of data recovery specialists may be required.
It is important to remember the need to regularly create a backup copy of all your data on a separate storage device to prevent the possibility of losing information in the event of similar problems with the hard disk.
