As the main device of the computer to store data, the hard disk often leads to the loss of important data once it fails. Faced with this situation, many people feel anxious and helpless. However, in case of hard drive corruption, there are still ways to try to recover data. So how do you get the data out when the hard drive is broken? This article will introduce you some effective hard drive data recovery methods to help you get your precious data back.
1. Understand the damage of the hard drive
Before you try to recover data, you first need to know about the corruption of your hard drive. Hard drive damage can manifest as symptoms such as unrecognized, reading errors, and abnormal noises. Depending on the damage situation, we can adopt different recovery strategies.
2. Use data recovery software
For logically damaged hard disks (such as file system corruption, partition loss, etc.), you can try to use data recovery software to recover. This type of software is capable of scanning the hard drive and trying to get back the lost files. The following is an example of Panda data recovery operation.
Hard drive corruption recovery steps:
Step 1: Select the recovery mode
Choose an eligible recovery mode according to the actual situation, so choose "Hard Drive Damage Recovery".
Step 2: Select the original data storage location
Select the corrupted hard drive for data scanning.
Step 3: Scan the file
It takes a certain amount of time to scan, and the more data you have, the longer it will take to scan, but we can recover while scanning.
Step 4: Find the file
The files we want to recover can be known by the file type or by searching. In short, there's a method for you.
Step 5: Preview the file
Many people have doubts before recovering data, can hard drive damage recovery help us recover data? The most intuitive way is to preview, if the preview is successful, it can be recovered, if the preview fails, then it is possible that the file has been corrupted and the recovery is not successful.
Step 6: Recover files
The steps to recover files are simple, check the files you want to recover, click Recover, and then set the export directory.
3. Seek professional data recovery services
If your hard drive is physically damaged (e.g., faulty circuit board, damaged head, etc.), or if your data recovery software can't get back the files you need, you may need to seek help from a professional data recovery service. Professional data recovery agencies usually have advanced equipment and technology to handle a wide range of complex hard drive failures. When choosing a data recovery agency, it is recommended to pay attention to the following points:
1. Select a qualified and experienced data recovery agency, which can be evaluated by checking the institution's qualification certificate and customer evaluation.
2. Before sending for repair, communicate with the institution and understand the recovery process and cost to ensure that you have a clear understanding of the recovery process.
3. When sending for repair, try to provide detailed information about the hard disk, such as brand, model, fault performance, etc., so that the organization can better assess the difficulty and success rate of recovery.
4. Preventive measures
In order to avoid data loss due to hard drive corruption, we can take the following precautions:
1. Back up important data regularly to ensure that you can recover data from the backup even if the hard drive is damaged.
2. Use UPS and other power protection equipment to avoid damage to the hard disk caused by sudden power failure.
3. Pay attention to the use environment of the hard disk, and avoid the influence of unfavorable factors such as too high or too low temperature, humidity and dust on the hard disk.
4. Maintain the hard disk regularly, such as disk checking, defragmentation and other operations to keep the hard disk in good condition.
In conclusion, we don't have to be overly anxious when the hard drive is corrupted. By learning about the corruption of the hard drive, using data recovery software, or seeking professional data recovery services, we can hopefully get back our lost data. At the same time, taking precautions can also help us reduce the risk of hard drive damage.
