My Hard Disk is not being recognized by BIOS
Yesterday while watching movie on my PC it appeared as black on the screen and stopped working. After restarting the PC it was not responding as the BIOS was unable to recognize the hard disk. It creates an unusual sound while BIOS searches drives.

1. I tried by bootting the PC using another hard disk but this HD does not appear in the windows.
2. I also tried to boot using Ubuntu live CD but failed to find my HD on it.

As it is not recognized by BIOS, I cann’t use data recovery software to recover the data. I’m badly in need of all data in it.

Please someone help me in this regard to recover the data.

Brand: SAMSUNG
Model: HD252HJ
Capacity : 250 GB
Interface : Serial ATA 3.0 Gbps
Buffer memory : 16MB

So laptop is dead because of motherboard. They say it’s unrepairable. If I wanna replace mobo, it’s going to be almost a price of new laptop.

Another option is date recovery. What does it actually mean? Does it mean I’d get all my data like documents and photos as Hard disk is not corrupted at all?

Are they gonna give me all those in one CD? I have no experience at all.
Is 50 pounds reasonable? Actually I’d lose 35 pounds for delivery already if I didn’t take any of their service. So it’s like 15 pounds for data recovery. Thank you for prompt reply.

is it possible to recover my data on the hard disk even after it is formatted and the OS is re installed? if so how?

how to prevent data recovery from flash or hard disk? is there any solution to format each sector of the hard disk to stop data restoration?

Please tell me of the best thing to do to delete a data from my hard disk so that no one would ever be able to retrieve it. I would highly appreciate a way whereby which NO ONE can retrieve it but I STILL CAN. Well, if I can’t, no problem. I just want NO ONE ELSE to retrieve the deleted data.

Secondly, please tell me of the best way to recover deleted data that has not been deleted by means of deleting it for FOREVER, as I’ve asked above.

Urgent help required!

My laptop’s hard disk not responding & seems like crashed. Is there any way to recover data from it.

I have an 80 Gb hard disk which had about 60 Gb of data and was formatted accidentally. After formatting, data was added to it. I now need to recover the previous 60 Gb of data. How can I recover this data and what data recovery software will do it?

I’ve been trying to get some files off a dead hard disk (i.e. one that reports RAW filesystem), using the data recovery software from http://www.datadoctor.in/. Unfortunately almost all files have failed to be recovered properly, even though the software has detected the structure of the directories, and the file names. The only files that seem to work are almost entirely within zip files.
Have I been doing something wrong?
Are there any alternative pieces of free software that would do a better job?

Thanks

Hi, I am looking for means (data recovery tool or any other method) by which I can recover data from a hard disk which was encrypted using Safeguard Easy from Utimaco.

My friend today installed Linux on his xp based system. He followed the specified instructions but ended up formatting all his hard disk.

He is trying to recover that back so can any one suggest any recovery tools that he can use to get back atleast some of his data??
And he currently has Ubuntu installed, so the tool must be Linux compatible.

I am in trouble. I dropped my laptop on the floor and now it won’t start. I had my college notes in it which I had been working on for 8 months. I was a fool to not have a backup for all those files. now I am in real trouble. I had stayed up all night for months working on the notes and now I think I have lost it all. when I tried starting the laptop it said ‘insert hard disk’ . so the hard disk has moved from it’s place, that’s okay but do you think the hard disk has been damaged and I have lost everything that was in it ? do you think i can still recover my data ?

Hi,
Whats the best hard disk (NTFS) data recovery available for free. If you tell me link to download, i shall be very thankful to you.

When i try to double click and enter the hard disk partition it says "I:\ is not accessible. The disk structure is corrupted and unreadable.".
The same thing happens to most of the hard disk partitions. Plz help me 2 recover the files. Or tell me a software which can read files and recover inside corrupt hard disks! Plz help me! Thanx in advance.

my hard disk is corrupted and what can i do to recover the data in it??
It is totally screwed, i can’t even start up the windows properly. The monitor just shows " …. corrupted… boot up disk required…" or something like that.

Some motherboard manufacturer advise to keep some free space at the end of hard disk for recovery of OS/Data I do not know whether it is advised by the motherboard manufacturer only or otherwise it is also recommended as a general. My question is how much space to keep free and whether it is to be kept as a partitioned or un-partitioned space.

i am having a doubt about how the data is recovering from a formatted hard disk…can anyone let me know about this…..

hi, my hard disk become very slow from yesterday.
I kinda think the firmware is corrupted.
It is accessible, however, it is super slow.
Do you know a easy fix way, or how to copy data to another disk, since it is so slow, copy is hardly doable.

thank you!

My hard disk (with a ‘k’ not ‘c’!!) has a 60gb partition in it called ‘backup’. Surely if my hard disk fails, BOTH partitions will fail - because aren’t HDD failures usually due to power problems (serges etc.), meaning that should my HDD fail, i will lose both the original data AND the ‘backup’ data?
At the moment, i use a networked, external disk drive - but it is not very good (it was made by netgear)
Any ideas much appreciated.
I don’t understand how backing stuff up to this partition can make my data any mores secure - because whatever i lose from my main parition (due toa hdd failure) will surely get lost from the backup partition at the same time.

what is the point??
