Crashed Hard Drive Hard Disk Data Recovery Software, Tools and Service
↓ Sponsored Links
Your laptop hard disk or desktop hard drive crashed and your technician told you it is going to cost you a bomb to recovery/retrieve all the lost data. Don’t be fooled by his sweat talk, and most important of all, don’t panic! When you are not calm, you’re likely to do something you will regret once the incident is over, just like in a car accident.
Just like you, my hard disk crashed when I was busy rushing for my mid term assignment, I stayed clam, took a deep breath and use a hard drive recovery software to retrieve my damaged hard drive. These software are free of charge, unlike paid hard drive recovery software, these software performed the same task minus the expensive price tag of hundred of dollars. I’ve compiled a few possible scenarios with the respective solutions:
Data Disc Recovery (Software)
Data Disc Recovery is a free hard drive recovery software made available by DAGsoft, it can efficiently scan and recover data from crashed hard disk data in FAT and NTFS format. Besides standard hard disk file recovery data, DDR can also:
- Recover data lost by ’shift – delete’ on FAT partitions
- Recover any data fragments from drive
- Search drive through many criterion
- Searching data directly on HDD, for example scanning free clusters in search for our file
Download Data Disc Recovery (version: 0.9.9.10)
PC Inspector File Recovery (Software)
PC Inspector file recovery is a hard drive data recovery software, if DDR failed in recovering your hard drive data, do give PC Inspector a try before you pay for a shareware, some of the key features of this free hard drive crash data recovery tool:
- Works even if the boot sector or FAT has been erased
- The free hard disk recovery tool has a user friendly GUI – like the Windows Explorer structure
- Recovers files with the original date and timestamp
- It can find partitions automatically, even if the boot sector or FAT has been erased or damaged.
- It can recover files with the orginal time and date stamp.
- It can recover files even when the header entry is no longer available.
- It supports a variety of formats, including those created by compressed and archiving programs.
Just like DDR, PC INSPECTOR™ File Recovery is free. This means that the software does not cost you a single penny. Download PC Inspector.
If you are not tech savvy, and really want good technical support,in addition to reliable hard disk data recovery and a guarantee results, you should opt for commercial hard disk backup and recovery software.
Damaged Hard Drive Data Recovery (Components)
If your hard drive is damaged, for instant, it flew off the table and landed on your floor, causing damage to your precious oak timber floor and some minor damages to your hard drive components, don’t panic! The technician will quote you an inflated price for that tiny component, which doesn’t make any sense when the same new hard disk with the required component cost 1/10 of the price.
Solution? Get yourself a brand new hard drive, if you are tech savvy enough, change the component yourself or pass the new hard drive to the technician, tell him the replacement part needed can be found in the new hard drive.
Data Recovery Boot Disk (Boot Disk)
Active@ Boot Disk is a bootable LiveCD/DVD/USB Flash Disk that allows you to boot up any computer and fix most startup and PC configuration problems. Use Active@ Boot Disk to recover your lost data, manage HDD partitions, reset Windows passwords, make computer system backups [disk images], securely erase data and there is much more.
Active@ Boot Disk (Win Edition)
Active@ Boot Disk (DOS Edition)
This software works when your hard drive partition is healthy, it is advisable to make a system backup of your disk image. Alternatively, you can try TESTDISK, TestDisk is a DOS and Windows tool (also available for Linux) produced by CGsecurity.org that can be used to locate and recover lost partitions (FAT and NTFS) by repairing the partition table or replacing partition boot sectors with the backup copies.
Unbootable Laptop Hard Disk Data Recovery (Boot Disk)
FindNTFS is an effective free hard drive data recovery software to locate and recover NTFS files. It is available in several versions, including one that will run from a DOS boot, and thus can be used when the Windows OS is not bootable.
Alternatively, you can try this method if the above methods does not work, for unbootable laptop or desktop, remove the hard disk and swap it with your external/portable hard drive. Plug the USB to a desktop or laptop, install the hard drive recovery software and perform the necessary task. Usually Windows will detect the hard disk and request that you perform a ‘check disk’ on the hard disk, proceed as advised and chances are, Windows will recover the damaged partition.

February 13th, 2009I have had to recover from several blue screen of death situations where Windows just wouldn’t boot. everytime i used software called Selkie Rescue Data Recovery–I like it because its a bootable cd, it takes like 3 keystrokes to initiate the recovery process and keeps all your files in the same order as before (bonus!) It’s waay better than having to take it into a shop since im a student and don’t have alot of money!

June 27th, 2009You’re a retard (ref -) ‘replace the component yourself’. Do you have any idea what sort of environment is required to successfully replace hard drive components? A class 100 clean room for one. Do NOT instruct people to simply open their hard drives up, they will ruin their chances of professional recovery. I implore all who read this to IGNORE his suggestions involving component replacements. I work in data recovery – I know. This man is an idiot.

July 8th, 2009I do work for writing on many topics. mainly I am a person who is living via Internet and my laptop. Recently have faced a serious problem with my laptop. The case was so worst that I was unable to see if what happened to it. “Totally damaged”, some small vendors told me so. How it came into my mind to search for local data recovery services, I can not say. It was a big pleasure to me when i found it in my city and they are guaranteeing me regarding Data Recovery. Thanks to those technicians. They told me to not try it by self hand as well. Anyone suffering from such panic condition may approach to me also :) (For suggestions only).
