What is Hard Drive Data Recovery

These days, the computer hard drives store all data and information about our life. In case of any logical (software caused) or physical (hardware caused) problems, you can salvage all the lost data as the files still reside on the hard drive. They only get erased when you intentionally go for disk erasure or overwrite the disk.

1.) In case of software caused crashes, you can easily recover the lost data. You need to install the data recovery software on a working system or a different hard drive and ensure that you don’t install or paste any new software/file on the affected drives of the crashed hard disk (as C:, E: etc.).

2.) Then, you need to attach the affected hard disk to the system in slave configuration or using a drive enclosure/interface adapter cable (as USB/eSATA/Firewire or IEEE 1394).

3.) After you have installed the software, you should scan the affected hard drive and preview the lost files which you want to recover. You can safely save them to your working system.

4.) One should make sure that these files get saved on the hard drive that is not the affected one, otherwise the process may fail. So, you can easily salvage the lost data.

5.) In case of hardware caused crashes, you need to opt for data recovery services. The data recovery services provide component level assistance through controlled lab environment of Clean-Rooms.

6.) The data recovery experts open the crashed storage device like hard drive and repair the malfunctioned parts to make the drive functional. After the drive becomes functional, they safely create the drive image and recover data from it using data recovery software and certain specialized tools.
