Impossible to file recovery on a SATA hard drive using a hard drive enclosure.

Removed SATA drive of doesn't have a VISTA desktop and put it in the hard disk SATA enclosure.
Joint casing hard drive on VISTA laptop to try to recover the data.
Laptop says I need to format the hard drive in the box until I can use it.

The drive is physically damaged or too damaged. You can try to connect the drive to another computer to see if the results are different. If this isn't the case, then you have the choice:

1 Hope the drive is not physically damaged and run the data recovery software. R-Studio is excellent and allows to download a demo to see what it would recover before buying.

2. If the data is critical and money is not a factor, don't even try #1 because whenever the disk rotates, you take the chance to destroy data. Send it to a professional data recovery company. I use a Drive Savers for my clients. General prices run from $500-$ 3, 500. Investors recovered all disk data on a portable player that failed for one of my clients, and it cost $2 700. He thought that it was worth the money; only you know what's worth your data. I understand that some insurance companies now cover fresh data recovery so check with yours.

  • I have the virus of file recovery, now I have a black screen with cursor blinking in the upper left corner.

    I have a Pavilion Notebook and recently caught the virus from file recovery.  I bought and ran the disc of Trend Micro Titanium Maximum Security.  Now, I get a black screen with a flashing cursor in the upper left corner of the screen.  All tests ran for memory, hard disk, etc. are OK.  Now I have a recovery disk, but have not backed up my files.  Any suggestions?

    Remove the hard drive and attach it to one > USB adapter . Plug it into another computer via usb port and copy files off the power.

    You can use > Ubuntu Live CD to boot from and backup files.

    OR ->Kaspersky CD has the ability to back up files.

  • Windows Vista will not complete installation on SATA hard drive

    I tried to install Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit on a new desktop computer Acer X 1200 (less than 1 year).  Vista recognizes the drive, format and copy all the files on the disk installation.  Then restarts, is preparing to launch for the first time and get to the part where it says installation finished and hangs there.  The green progress bar does not move and it hangs indefinitely.  The hard drive is SATA and I put a new disc in hard, but exactly the same thing happened.  The motherboard has no IDE port on it and there is no option in the BIOS for the IDE emulation.  At this point I think the motherboard is bad, but I am working also on a laptop HP 1 year with SATA hard drive that does exactly the same thing.  The two systems are pre-installed with Vista Home Premium.  The two systems see the hard drive, but will not complete installation.  I even tried to run the WD Tools Data Lifeguard before installation with no luck at all.  There is no error message or error code, just of hangs and end no installation.  You have any suggestions for this?  Thank you.

    What was my problem I bought the equipment... like motherboard, memory, cpu, and video

    Vista would not be install.would blow on the end of the installation so I tried to put it natively and it worked!

  • Vista does not recognize my drive sata hard.

    • I have a Sony Vaio and this laptop is running Vista on a drive sata hard and the hard drive failed, I am trying to load Vista on a clean hard disk SATA of Toshiba. Vista does not see the hard disk and can not find the drivers for the SATA hard drive. I called Toshiba and they said that the hard drive is plug-and-play this is why there is no drivers and asked me to call Sony to the motherboard drivers. Sony said that you need for the Vaio recovery disc. I ordered the recovery disks and still have the same result. I have checked the BIOS and can not see anywhere to set up a sata drive. What can I do to fix this?

    Hi Dl54,

    A. is the hard drive is detected in the BIOS?

    B. what happens when you restart the computer?

    C. you get errors?

    D. What is the exact error message that you receive?

    You can check if the drive is detected in the BIOS, but will not all SATA configuration option in the BIOS.

    I suggest you to download the SATA drivers on the Sony site on a flash drive and load it during the installation.

    After that you start from the vista DVD, follow the instructions on the screen to install vista. You will see a screen where you choose the partition to install vista. You will find an option to load a driver on the same screen to the bottom of the left hand of the window.

    Click load a driver > Browse to the location of the drivers and start installing the drivers.

    Please answer in return.

    If you are talking about undelete programs, car brands, or

    responses from different people.

    That said, I like http://www3.telus.net/mikebike/RESTORATION.html

    If you can recover data from a damaged disc depends on what the
    the damage. But in general you can not. In most cases, your only recourse
    is to bring or send the drive to a professional file recovery company.
    This kind of service is very expensive and may or may not work your
    case.

  • Need drivers for the SATA hard/controller on the dv7-6c95dx disc.

    Need drivers for the SATA hard/controller on the dv7-6c95dx disc.

    We load Windows 7 Enterprise on these newly purchased laptops, but do it have not the required appropriate drivers detect the hard drive on them. Impossible to find on the HP website.

    You can refer to a completely different question here, Marty. I was installing to a flash drive and it turns out that my install media has been connected to ports USB 3.0 on the left rather than right 2.0 ports. Moving to the ancient ports of 2.0 has solved my problem. Good luck.

    The word "support" has a connotation that is specific to HP - it usually means were that he tested with, sold with, etc.   I do not think that these discs were available when this system was built/designed, and thus the moniker "supported" official cannot be assured.

    Everything that is said - I see not where there is a problem with this player.   I have a m9600t HP of a similar vintage - I swapped my Seagate 750 GB drive for a 7200 RPM Hitachi 2 TB drive and added an another 2 TB "Green" WD drive as a secondary drive.   No problems.

    I have used Ghost of Norton to clone the old boot HDD on the Hitachi.  Made sure the D: drive Alias: "recovery partition" was kept the same size and then said Norton to use all the space of the new to develop on the c: drive.  Works very well.   The WD drive - I partitioned as a large drive E:.   Made sure to partition to NTFS.

    Your mileage may vary - but I think it should work correctly...

  • Pavilion a6500f: can I add a second SATA hard drive to my HP Pavilion a6500f?

    I have a HP Pavilion a6500f running Windows 7 Home Premium.  I would like to add a second hard drive to 500 GB 7200 RPM to it as a slave drive.  Can I do this?  And if I can how do I know what size must have the hard drive?

    That your system is 8 years old, I suggest you these:

    (1) clone the old drive to a new drive, either 500 GB or 1 TB.  Use it as your new drive system.  Modern Sata 600 drives are 6 Gbps with 64 MB of cache memory. It will have better performance than older Sata 300 players with 32 MB cache / 3 GB/s.

    (2) your old-school, like the reader of the term 'slave' was a reference to the IDE/EIDE, cabling system.

    (3) all you need is a standard WD or Seagate 7200 RPM disk 3,5 '' hard. Both offer a free disk assistant program to facilitate the process of cloning.

  • HP Pavilion s5570t desktop computer: single SATA hard drive configured as RAID in BIOS

    Our small computer lab has two offices of Pavilion Slimline s5570t that we have recently upgraded to Windows 10. I noticed that in the configuration of the BIOS for the SATA hard drive, it is defined as RAID. I don't know why. The thing that brought this to my attention, is that the software Intel Rapid storage technology constantly shows about 25% CPU use and there high usage of the disk when computers start first which makes them unusable until the software installs.

    My question is can I change the setting of the BIOS SATA AHCI with no problems and that will solve the problem? The Intel rapid storage technology software version is v9.5.7.1002. It is obviously old and I could update, but I wonder if the real issue is the BIOS setting.

    Thank you

    JohnD

    Thank you for the additional information.

    I'm not sure it tells you, but I changed these settings without having to reinstall the operating system.  I suppose it could be correct.
