Hard disk data recovery
Restoring data from a hard drive can be a difficult task, but in most cases it is possible to return 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 or use a second USB port/Sata cable.
2. Use data recovery software: There are many free and commercial software products (such as Recuva) specially designed to scan a damaged or formatted drive for lost files.
3. Ask for help from professionals: If you do not have experience working with software or if the data is very valuable to you, it is best to contact a professional information recovery company.
4. DO NOT run error checking via Windows CHKDSK! This can lead only to even greater damage to the file!
5. Prepare the workstation:
– Enclose the HDD 100% in an antistatic package.
– Prepare the workstation where you will work with the HDD. It is desirable to use a desktop computer or laptop without a battery and a disconnected power supply.
6. Check the hard disk:
– Insert the previously prepared HDD into the SATA (or USB-SATA) connector of your computer
– We start software for working with data
It is important to remember that the success of data recovery depends on many factors: the state of the hard drive itself, the reasons for data loss, etc., so the possibility of full or partial success is not always guaranteed in advance
