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.

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 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.

Does the drive appear on BIOS on boot with the correct name ? Also, can you scan the drive with MHDD or something like that ?
What kind of noise can you ear ? If its a presistent clicking noise heads are gone and you will need the help of a reputable data recovery house to get your data back. It's not a job that you will be able to do by yourself.
If you can scan with MHDD drive might have only some bad sectors. Image the drive as soon as possible to another one and procede with logic data recovery.
Good luck. |
