? hard disk failure- how to recover data

**nicolodeon** · February 15th, 2005 11:24 AM

May mga firms that specialize in data recovery. They usually do forensics for the NBI, if them agents need a job to recover data for evidence (if you can call it that). Anyway, it can cost you an arm. Lahat ng advice nila is correct.

sir, ang gawin mo alisin mo yung hd ng PC1 then ilagay mo ito sa PC2. Bali ang mangyayari dalawa ang hd ang nakalagay sa PC2. ibig sabihin master yung totoong hd ng PC2 at yung nilagay mong hd ng PC1 ay slave sya. So pagnalagay mo na ON mo yung PC2. dapat madedetect nya parehas yung hd mo. kung nadetect nya dapat makikita mo na dun yung mga files mo sa hd.
pasensya kung di masyado maintindihan

tanggalin mo lang ung jumper ng SLAVE Hdisk.
nangyare na saken yan.

A technique I read somewhere is if you bring the temperature of the hard drive down to the freezing point by putting it in a freezer first and then taking it back out, somehow the condensation from bringing it back to room temperature helps revive it for about 20 minutes, it can be repeated about five to six times tops. Long enough to get out any important files that need to be backed up.

meron na isang software ON Track ang nag develop, down load it. Easy Recovery ang pangalan nung software. Thats what my friend told me

usually faulty hdd files' can be recovered using it as a slave while having a primary hdd online. kung ayaw talaga, resort to the previous tsikoteer's posts. Kung hindi naman subjected to heat and/or "biglang pagkabagsak" and/or nabuhusan ng tubig or pagkain, I think having it as a slave will do.

yup! these guys are pro's when it comes to data recovery. kahit nasunog na yung PC nakukuha pa nila ang data. they have "cleanrooms" wherein they disect the HDD.

mahal pero sulit.

this is only if the problem is the HDD's bearings.

There is no condensation happening inside the HDD itself because its a sealed environment. The danger here is condensation forming on the HDD's controller board causing a short-circuit is greater.
