What is hard disk?
A rigid magnetic disk fixed permanently within a drive unit and used for
storing computer data.

Cases of Recovery
1 Firmware Corruption
If you have the hard disk spinning up when powered on, but the
computer incorrectly recognizes it or does not recognize it at all,
or it gets further but then just hangs during boot up, then you
could have a firmware corruption problem
2 Electronic Failure
Really here we are talking about power spikes or surges that affect the
controller board of the hard disk. This then knocks out the hard disk
and the BIOS has no idea it exists anymore. You will often see a burn if
you take the drive out and have a look. You will here no spinning at
power on, the drive is effectively dead.
THE FOUR TYPES OF HARD DRIVE FAILURE OTHER
THAN CRASHED
3 Mechanical Failure
Inside your hard disk are small moving parts that can go wrong and fail. These
mechanical failures of hard disk components will often make the data on the
hard drive inaccessible.
4 Logical corruption
We mean here is for some reason our file system is up the creek.
There is nothing physically wrong with the hard drive. Its like a
software problem, not a hardware problem.
Software Recovery of data:
File Recovery Software is capable to recover all types of data
including text document, music files, images, pictures, songs,
digital snap shots, compressed files, ZIP files, encrypted files
etc that have been mistakenly deleted or erased.
Law enforcement:
Locate illegal data
Restore deleted/overwritten information.
Prosecute criminals based on discovered data
Before you data lose
Four very IMPORTANT things
1.
Remember Backups! this desperate data recovery stress all becomes a lot less
important if you take regular backups, either to CDs, DVDs, other hard drives .
2.
Think about keeping your operating system on one drive (the C: drive)
and your data on one or more other drives. This is better than having
the whole lot on one drive which suffers the stress of having to zip
around doing the system stuff while also performing all the data
functions.
3.
Regularly check to see if your drives need defragmenting .
4.
Use Power Surge protection like a Belk in surge protector
