Looking for a solution to disk failure!

[elvis7989]

Hi people, I have been using my disk for quite a long time but the other day I heard the drive making some noise and had to restart the system again. But when I did that the disk would not boot and I fear that the data might be deleted or lost. So, if you people have any know about the ways to get this done right or if you can at least suggest me the ways to handle this …it will be a great help.

check power cord to disk.

If you caught the failure in time it may be possible to recover the data. Do you have another drive you can install Windows on? If so, install Windows and add your old drive as the secondary drive and see if you can browse the drive in Windows. If not, try a tool called GetDataBack. It has worked great for me in the past. If the drive is completely dead, there's not much you can do outside of finding a company to do a very expensive data recovery.

Another trick that sometimes works is to freeze the drive and then quickly connect it to another system, boot up, and try to copy as many files as you can before it fails again.

This seems to be a genuine problem. It must be probably due to the “noise” you have stated….there may be some bad sectors in the boot sector or may be the OS has been corrupted. These are all just views but you can’t be sure…..you must try to recover data disk (http://www.diskemergency.com/) and make it as simple as possible to avoid complications. There are many ways to get that done and I hope that you get your data back from suitable ways.
