Recovers data from a damaged hard drive
Restoring data from a damaged 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 correctly connected to the computer and check the condition of the cables used.
2. Use the second USB/SATA port: If you use an external hard disk through the USB interface or SATA contacts on the computer's motherboard (in the case of HDD), reconnect it to other available ports.
3. Run data repair/recovery software: There are various programs for working with damaged hard disk data, such as TestDisk, Recuva, or EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard Free Edition.
– TestDisk is a powerful tool for analyzing and correcting problem partitions at the physical level.
– Recuva is a free program from Piriform Ltd., capable of scanning content deleted from the Recycle Bin or data deleted using Shift+Delete.
– EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard Free Edition is an easy-to-use data recovery software. It can scan a damaged hard drive and allows you to select files for recovery.
4. Go to professionals: If you have no experience with data repair/recovery software or if your hard drive is physically damaged (broken mechanics), it is best to seek help from a computer specialist or service center.
It is important to note that the success of recovery depends on the degree of damage to the hard disk and the state of its accumulated data. Therefore, it is very useful to regularly create backup copies of your files on other devices or store information online
