How many times have you experienced that your hard drive just doesn't boot and all the information is likely to be gone for good? A hdd breakdown is one of the most common problems and worst nightmares experienced by pc operators all over the globe. Important data is lost either at home or in big company environments.

First of all, let's discuss exactly why a hard disk drive crashes.Whether the files on the hard disc drive can be retrieved or not depends on the severity of the problem. A disk drive can be damaged due to firmware corruption, electronic failure, mechanical failure or a logical failure. Many times your disk drive may lose data due to the combination of the above mentioned factors. A hard disc drive can also develop bad sectors due to which the data on those sectors is lost or gets unreadable. Firmware refers to the information used by the pc to interact correctly with the hdd. If the firmware fails or gets corrupted, then important files on the hard disc drive is lost. In case of an electronic failure there maybe occur an electrical surge that can knock-out the controller board on the hard disc drive and make it unusable. Even so data files can be recuperated by data recovery experts who use special data recovery software. Swapping the controller board with another one can be risky as the data on the controller board is unique to the hard disk drive on which it's fitted. In comparison to electronic failure a mechanical failure can turn out to be worst as data recovery can almost become impossible. Mechanical failure includes head crash and also write/read head failure. Head crash can happen due to physical shock, power surges and movement of the laptop or computer. Next come the logical glitches. Logical issues have nothing to do with the hardware component. Logical issues can occur due to corruption of the file system on the hard drive or improper entries in the file allocation table. In case of disk drive malfunction it is vital to call the data recovery experts. Usually, the information on the hard drive is priceless and you can't bear to lose it. The professionals enhance the possibilities of hard drive recovery in the case of hard drive failure caused by software failure, virus attacks and other reasons stated above. Information can be recovered on all kind of operating system including all versions of Windows as well as Apple Macintosh, Novell, Linux, Unix and also on all types of file systems like FAT, FAT32, NTFS, NTFS5, HFS, HFS+, NWFS, EXT2 and EXT3.

How many times have you experienced that sickening sensation when your hard disk

unexpectedly fails? How many times have you experienced that your hard drive just doesn't boot

and all the information is likely to be gone for good? A hdd breakdown is one of the most common

problems and worst nightmares experienced by pc operators all over the globe. Important data is

lost either at home or in big company environments. What can be done in these scenarios?

Actually, there are some solutions that can be carried out by you that will restore your disk drive.

We'll go over the solution later. First of all, let's discuss exactly why a hard disk drive

crashes.Whether the files on the hard disc drive can be retrieved or not depends on the severity

of the problem. A disk drive can be damaged due to firmware corruption, electronic failure,

mechanical failure or a logical failure. Many times your disk drive may lose data due to the

combination of the above mentioned factors. A hard disc drive can also develop bad sectors due

to which the data on those sectors is lost or gets unreadable.

Firmware refers to the information used by the pc to interact correctly with the hdd. If the firmware

fails or gets corrupted, then important files on the hard disc drive is lost. In case of an electronic

failure there maybe occur an electrical surge that can knock-out the controller board on the hard

disc drive and make it unusable. Even so data files can be recuperated by data recovery experts

who use special data recovery software. Swapping the controller board with another one can be

risky as the data on the controller board is unique to the hard disk drive on which it's fitted. In

comparison to electronic failure a mechanical failure can turn out to be worst as data recovery can

almost become impossible. Mechanical failure includes head crash and also write/read head

Windows has its own full featured back-up program. There are other back-up software programs

available that can prevent a potential failure.

In addition to the concern of recovering your files, another problem is the time it may take for a

specialist to help. This can be a slow and frustrating process. I recommend owning a secondary

complete computer source such as a laptop (for portability) that you can continue your work. By

doing this you're never completely down and you'll be able to exchange important data between

the two.
