Data Recovery
When your hard disk has crashed, it is wiser to leave the recovery to an expert such as
MjM Data Recovery Ltd in the UK.
Hard drives can fail for a whole host of reasons and the symptoms for the failure are few.
The broken hard drive will .
- Spin as normal but your data is inaccessible - Logical Problem
- Not Spinning – Most likely an Electronics Problem or seized motor.
- Spinning but makes ticking sounds – Possibly a Head Failure
- Spinning but make other noises – Possible 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 become infected with a virus?
When the hard drive is not rotating, then your hard disk drive will need either electronics work it or will need opening 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 sounds 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 disk is making rattling noises then this is indicitive of a major failure. More than likely a head crash or spindle failure.
Whatever the problem is, there is still a possiblity of recovering the data if the drive is sent to data recovery specialists.
