Recovering Data after Hard Disk Crashes


 
Computers,Science & Technology
The read-write head of a hard disk occasionally comes into contact with its rotating platter due to a drop or other jolt, causing damage to the magnetic platter surface and crashing the data in the storage area. Data recovery services exist with clean rooms and special equipment; they have data recovery experts who specialize in bringing back the important files you thought you would never see again.

Viruses, obsolescence, and hard drive failure plague computer owners, many of whom have lost data in the past and been inconvenienced by losing the files. If the lost files are going to cost you money, it's time to take your faulty hard disk to a shop to have the data recovered. A good percentage of the time they will be able to restore all or part of your lost data.

The read-write head of a disk is very thin, made with film techniques and materials hard enough to scratch through the protective layers, especially considering that the heads can be rotating at 120 kilometers an hour or more, at rates of 5,400 to 15,000 RPM. Anything like a shock or piece of dirt that interrupts and causes the platters to touch at that speed will cause some serious damage. Approximately Fifty percent of data loss is caused by hardware failure, so it's important to shut down power once you suspect there has been damage causing data loss.

In the case of mechanical damage some parts have to be replaced to recover the data. If the damage is electrical then the circuit board may need to be replaced. The company you bring your crashed computer to is going to ask you what happened, so report any blows to the unit or drops on the ground that may have caused damage. With laptops especially you should first consider the value of the data that never got backed up, for some of the parts of a laptop are very small and expensive to repair.

A laptop data recovery can cost of lot because of the smaller parts; they can take more hours to replace. It's a good policy to do regular backups of your data, especially if you are on the go and the laptop has a greater chance of getting damaged in transit. If you are missing vital data it is best to take it to data recovery specialists who can perform a laptop hard drive recovery in a sterile lab with the latest equipment and knowledge. Important information has to be given the best odds of returning to this dimension so it's wise to bring it to professionals.

There are varieties of software that professionals and laypersons can both use to recover lost data from crashed hard drives. There are software packages like PC Inspector File Recovery that work even if the boot sector has been erased in the crash. Data Recovery Boot Disk (Active@ Boot Disk) is a bootable LiveCD/DVD/USB flash disk that allows you to boot up any computer.

You have the best chance of a successful hard disk recovery if you take it to professionals, unless you are expert enough at computers to feel confidant working on it yourself. The problem may be just in the hard drive, or your computer may need additional repairs, new parts, even complete replacement altogether. Data recovery companies are numerous so the problem seems to be coming up on a regular basis in our days of faster and more powerful computers. The more data we can store, the more is vulnerable to corruption by virus attacks or hard drive crashes, and the more we need our friendly local data recovery experts.

Pat Boardman is an SEO consultant writing in respect to Kenedacom Data Recovery computer service firm specializing in computer file recovery for hard drives, laptops, RAID arrays, disks, tapes, and servers in Montreal.
