Data Recovery
When your hard disk has crashed, it is better to leave the recovery to an expert for example
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 usual but you can not access your files - Logical Problem
- Not Spinning – Probably Electronics Problem or seized motor.
- Spinning but makes ticking noises – Possibly a Head Failure
- Spinning but make other 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 is a logical problem. Did scan-disk run during start up?, or did you recently remove some old files? Has your computer become infected with a virus?
When the hard disk drive 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 disk is making ticking noises then this points to a more serious problem and will most likely need opening up in a clean room to determine exactly what has happened. Never open a hard disk yourself, especially if the data has any value.
When the hard drive is making creaking noises 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.
