• How can I recover the files of failed hard drive

  Hello

  Apparently, my hard drive failed on my HP.  I'm running Windows XP with the latest service pack.
  I get a black screen that says "disk error, press ctrl + atl + del to restart".
  Given that it is a 7 year old computer, I don't see the need to put a lot of effort in intensive care there.
  But I would like to get some of the files on the hard drive.
  Can anyone suggest a way to access the contents of the hard drive?  I would like to get some Word, excel, PDF files.  Nothing major.
  Thank you
  AS

  Hello

  If the drive has indeed failed then you need professional services which are very expensive. Best
  method would be to contact your local computer store, the other his own service in-house, and have
  check out them the disc. Eventually, they can recover your files and they know all local professional
  services available in your area.

  A professional collection agency is Kroll OnTrack. Others are using Bing or Google.

• Satellite L40: How can I recover the files from the hard drive

  Hello

  Can someone help me please. About a week ago I started to have a clicking sound coming from my laptop Satellite L40. My laptop froze and when I restarted, I was directed to the system configuration with a message at the bottom saying
  "Pri Master Hard Disk Drive SMART status bad, Backup and replace."
  Press F2 to assume. »

  I pressed F2, but I don't have any idea what to do?

  Can someone tell me how do I backup my files until my HDD disappeared completely or if it was can I use another device to get down them.

  I tried using the recovery disk, but the disk does not respond?

  Help, please

  Pete

  Hello

  This message looks like a warning of S.M.A.R.T. notification
  This means that your HARD disk will eventually fail.
  It can happen in the next few days or it can't happen for a few months but the SMART feature has detected that the drive is wrong then it should be replaced as soon as possible.
  It seems that your laptop is not very old, so the warranty should cover all replacements.

  I see only one way to access and back up the data. Eventually, you could buy an external enclosure SATA USB HARD drive and was able to connect the HARD drive to another computer.
  I don't know if you will be able to access the HARD drive because of the failure, but if you want you can try this m.

  Good luck

• How to recover files from my hard drive?

  I tried to upgrade windows 8.1 to 10, but something was wrong and I can't boot my laptop more. I have Samsung i5. Samsung has it s own recovery program, but impossible to locate all personal files from my hard drive (C:\user) s.

  The problem is - my accont is protected by word (with the microsoft account) how can I recover my files? They are also protected by Word? Can I access simply by making the copy of disc or I´ll to decrypt?

  It depends on if you have encryption enabled or not.  If you have the encryption on, then you will need a copy of your encryption key or the files will be locked forever.

  If you encrypt your files, you can recover the files simply by putting the hard drive on another computer and navigate on it as if it were a USB key (it's just a reader), you can even appropriating and re - set the permissions on the folder.

  Another option is to start by using any Windows install CD or USB.  At the prompt to install, skip it and press SHIFT + F10 to open a command prompt.  So to reach this player (the letter can be no C: in this mode) and use the command copy to copy the file to another disk or USB stick.

• My files on the hard drive are getting corrupted?

  I use the model of MacBook Air 2013 Yosemite running. I have a Seagate BackPlus 1 TB drive to NTFS. And I use Tuxers NTFS on my Mac to read and write files from NTFS devices. Lately, I'm sloly from knowledge that my files on the hard drive are getting corrupted. When I try to open any folder I blocks until I have remove my hard drive. I lost some files like this. Now, they are completely inaccessilble. The big sone files show even ehen 0 bytes, they are around a GB or something. I start out freak because all my data is in this hard drive. 1 TB of data. Its my life is locked in it.

  Is someone can you please tell me what is happening with my hard drive?

  Thanks in advance...

  Is someone can you please tell me what is happening with my hard drive?

  Probably not. The problem you are experiencing is almost certainly that the drive itself has failed. It could have also been caused by third party software that you use to support a formatted NTFS volume. Isolate the cause to one or the other is probably not an effort worth it, because the files themselves are probably already damaged and unusable. In this case the only alternative to certain to succeed is to restore from a backup.

  As you know the Mac FAT32 and ExFAT supports and can read, but not write - formatted NTFS volume. For this reason, if you ask the Windows compatibility, you must select ExFAT.

  You could try using the third-party data recovery software, even if success is not guaranteed. I can offer no specific product recommendations.

• Could not initialize and I need to recover the data on the hard drive.

  Original title: computer MOM will not start and I need to recover the data on the hard drive.

  It's an old computer and I do not know what version of Windows it was running.  I guess I need a bootdisk of exploitation, but where can I download that?  Or would it be easier to pull and make a secondary drive in my computer that I just replaced?  It works under Windows XP.

  Hello

  If the old system does not start could be the hard drive. Put the hard drive in another computer as a 2nd drive and then access the files. If you use a computer XP, Vista or Windows 7, you should be able to access the files, unless the drive has failed.

  You can save your files by putting the drive in another computer as a 2nd drive (better) or a USB external drive case and then save up to removable media such as CD, DVD or other USB drives. Of course a real store of the computer or the manufacturer of your system can help to recover the files.

  Or you can use a boot Ubuntu CD to back up data. (This will not work if the hard disk is defective or other issues preventing the system from booting from the CD/DVD drive.)

  I want to back up files on my hard drive of diving, how do you do that?

  You can use a hard drive, but it is not the drive on which the system or the boot is running.  If you have a second drive in your system that contains system information or startup, you can use this disk for backups.  The wizard backs up (Start / Control Panel / backup and restore) will guide you through the process and provide you with the options you can choose to send the information - which should include this disc hard if it meets the requirements more fully covered in the following article.

  Here's a FAQ on the backup and restore that can be useful to some of your questions: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Back-up-and-restore-frequently-asked-questions.

• I copy / paste a file from a hard drive to a usb port and now I lost the USB I get the hard drive?

  I move a file from a hard drive to a usb port and now I lost the USB I get the hard drive

  "Deleting" a file does not actually delete it marks just the space
  also available to be used. There are third-party programs that can
  sometimes recover deleted files. The problem is that the space used by
  the file is likely to be replaced very quickly, and it makes
  the unrecoverable file.

  So your chances of successfully recover this file are decent if you
  Try it again immediately after the deletion of it and go quickly
  downhill from there. If you have used the computer since then (for
  example to write this question and read this answer), your chances may
  be very poor now.

  But if the file is large enough, it's still worth a try. Stop
  using the computer in question immediately, if you have not done
  already. Download an undelete program (and here's one:)
  http://www3.TELUS.NET/mikebike/restoration.html but there are several
  others to choose from; Do a search) on a friend's computer (do not
  it on yours because that would overwrite the files you want
  Undelete) and bring it to you on a CD or thumb drive to try.

  If that fails, your only recourse is to bring or send the disc
  a company of professional file recovery. This kind of service is very
  expensive and may or may not work in your case.

• Restore files using external hard drive

  I have an external hard drive which has my files my desktop which is Windows 7.  This office has crashed and I need to put the files on my laptop that is Windows 8. Is this possible?

  Hi Julie,.

  Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

  Yes, you certainly can restore all of your files from external HDD (HARD drive) to Windows 8 regardless of the version of Windows that we put them on earlier. If you have some backup software, you can restore the files using your favorite backup provided by the external HARD disk manufacturer software. If the data contain documents, images, or other media files, you can directly move files in the HARD drive files external to the library folders in Windows.

  Hope this information is useful. Let us know if you need more help, we will be happy to help you.
