Data Recovery
When your hard disk drive has failed, it is better to leave the recovery to a professional data recovery company such as
MjM Data Recovery Ltd in the UK.
Hard disks can fail for a multitude of reasons and the symptoms for the failure are few.
The failed hard disk will .
- Spin as normal but you can not access your files - Logical Problem
- Not Spinning – Most likely an Electronics Problem or seized motor.
- Spinning but makes clunking noises – Possibly a Head Failure
- Spinning but make rattling sounds – Potential head crash or motor failure.
When the hard disk is running as normal but you cant see your data, then the liklihood is that there are logical problems. Did scan-disk run during start up?, or did you recently remove some old files? Has your computer come under virus attack?
When the hard disk is not spinning, then your hard drive will need either electronics work it or will need repairing in a clean room. MjM Data Recovery Ltd have the facility to recover from either of these problems.
If the hard drive is making clunking sounds then this indicates a more significat problem and will most likely need internal examination in a clean room to determine exactly what has goner wrong. Never open a hard disk yourself, especially if the data has any value.
When the hard drive is making other sounds then this is indicitive of a major failure. More than likely a head crash or spindle failure.
Whatever has happened, there is still a chance of recovering the data if the drive is sent to data recovery specialists.
