Recovery of data from external drive

I can read is no longer my external hard drive. I hear the drive makes noise, but the removable disk drive does not appear on my directory on the computer more. I think that the drive has failed. The data on the disc are very important. Is there a way I can still recover?

Do we have to be so literal? 2 screws will allow you to read the hard drive. To get out of the House to do anything useful with it's going to take a lot longer. But find the video on youtube was excellent work. I was talking of LaCie drives as those that can be a real bear enter.

And here's a site showing in pictures how to use the ide to usb as I have and recommend.

A large needle to point out is the drive hard ide must be master jumper or it may not work right.

    Hello

    There are limited resources,

    (a) use Data transmission cable, something like one of the following thread:

    http://au.price-selector.com/search?k=easy%20transfer%20cable & cid = 1-3-1-1-3

    (b) another option: buy an IDE HARD drive case and put the old HDD on it, you can transfer data and use it as a HARD drive external.

  • Recovery of data from a hard drive.

    I have a hard drive that was used to store data (i.e. The drive D:\).  Suddenly, it is not recognized as being in the format and/or I'm unable to access the data.

    You can use data recovery software to restore your data from your hard drive inaccessible. The I know is Remo Recover (Windows), it's a good recovery software. It supports recovery of files from the formatted hard drive. It can also recover your partitions deleted from your hard drive.

  • Data from external hard drive not visible

    My computer has been recently infected with the virus to restore Windows. As soon as I was aware, I unplugged my network cable and a drive external hard (without using to remove the device safely), who has all my data. I then used a previous restore point to get rid of the virus, which was apparently with success, because there is no remaining trace.

    Now, the external hard drive is not visible in Explorer. Other utility programs say that the data is always there, but I can't see it or access it in the usual way. This drive worked perfectly up to this point. I tried to restart, unplug the external drive and reconnect it and using a different USB port, but so far nothing has worked.

    How can I get Vista to recognize my external drive?

    Hello

    Run the system restore will be not delete or remove the virus on the computer. System Restore helps you restore system files from your computer to an earlier point in time.

    First I suggest you to run the check, and online virus scan if no malware or viruses detected on the computer activity. You can run the scan for viruses online from the link below: http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

    NOTE: Make sure that you select the correct version of the operating system before downloading the scanner)

    For the problem with the external hard drive, follow the methods below:

    Method 1:

    Check if the device is detected in Device Manager. Follow the steps for the same thing:

    a. click on start

    b. click Run, in the Run dialog box type devmgmt.msc

    (c) in the Device Manager window, locate the drive

  • I'll lose data from the drive of the partition during recovery?

    Hi all

    If I use the toshiba recovery CD to format my system, I'll lose data from the disks partition as well or just the C:?

    Hi Justin

    Well, what recovery CD you want to use?
    As much as I know several months Toshiba uses a new version of the CD recovery called Reco.
    You will find the settings option and there you can choose the option when you want to recover the operating system. I think that the first partition is erased.

    The old version of the recovery CD has supported two different options: standard and expert mode. Here it is important to use the expert mode if you want to choose the partition where the OS must be installed

  • Recovering data from hard drives of laptop data

    1. laptop computer work with a hard drive to work (I know that this is the case if you insert the disc of the laptop, it works, it loads windows xp, you can use the laptop according to the normal without errors / problems etc.)

    We have a disk external drive kit (again I know works as I use to connect to a multitude of other hard drives via the USB port of a desktop PC) and I have another kit to different hard drive for the first USB SATA hard drive recovery kit and it does the same thing when you try to access the data on the hard drive for laptops

    If I connect the laptop hard drive to my desktop PC it won't appear in my computer even if you right-click my computer--> manage--> disk management

    The drive appears here as not initialized and will fail if you try to initialize the disk indicating there CRC errors and it will not assign a drive letter.

    Is there a quick way to access the data on the disk?

    As much as I know readers are not encrypted as when loading after the bios POST, you get not all blue / violet loading gauges, this is Windows XP SP 3 so do not use bit locker or something like that.

    What should I do to get access to data as quickly as possible without making too many steps or waiting for utils recovering data, etc..

    Also, what do Lenovo for the drives causing headaches as much?

    Am confused with your part external kits...

    In any case, I assume you have a computer laptop lenovo work and office work. You try to connect lenovo's HARD drive in a USB drive kit and extract data from the desktop.

    (1) is the disc encrpted HARD lenovo? Check the Bios and also if lenovo security software are installed.

    (2) the fastest way I'm doing it today is to connect laptops and office to a network. Share the disk, and then extract the data from the laptop or desktop. A second option is remote laptop and retrieves the data.

    (3) another possibility is that your laptop is XP, IE the formatting isn't AHCI (check the bios under sata), it is in compatibility mode. The Office use Vista or Windows 7?

  • Windows 7 hangs during the transfer of data from one drive to another

    This problem was pestering me for a long time, well over a year.

    When I transfer data from one disk to the other (generally large amounts), the computer crashes and I get a blue screen or it just restarts.

    Initially, I thought it was a faulty hard drive, so I replaced that, but the problem persisted. I ran diagnostics of smart drive on all my drives and no problems have been picked up.

    Then I replaced my RAM assuming there that all. The problem continues.

    Then I replaced the video card. The same problem.

    I then upgraded to windows 10 and the problem became more acute, so I rolled back to windows 7.

  • Why-letter from external drives gets changed in windows 7

    Hi all

    Can someone please advise, why the external drive letters gets changed even after changing disk management in windows 7.

    He worked for two days and turns again.

    In Windows, each external storage device is assigned a unique ID (UID). That UID and the corresponding parameters are stored in the registry. The seetings include the drive letter assigned as well. If one of the drive letter is assigned to tell the reader, manually, after unplugging it, the same drive letter assigned to the drive B, the letter for the drive B. For example, if A player is connected again, a new letter is assigned automatically. You may notice that the drive letter for drive B cannot be used as drive B is disconnected, and yet the settings in the registry makes Windows assign a new drive letter to a drive, like the manually assinged drive letter B is allocated for drive B and the next time you connect player B the same drive letter is assigned, according to the registry settings.

  • How can I get the data from the drive of barcodes to forms

    Hi Experts,

    I would like to collect data from the barcode scanner.

    No idea if you got it please share.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    I think that his works even as the keyboard.  You type the code manually or you can read it from a scanner.  With the help of the keyboard that you can able to type what anyone on the position of the cursor, in the same way the barcode scanner also works.  Just like a copy and paste the scanner copies the data from the physical device and paste it into your corrent cursor position.  There is no separate program encodings necessary for this work.

    This occurred after the use of the Norton Symantec solution to get rid of malware Tidserv activity.  After trying to restart my computer after the removal of the malware, assuming she was kidnapped, I got this error message.  I had backed up my important files on an external hard drive some time ago, but I still want to recover from this if possible.  It is an old Dell Dimension 3000 series and I don't have the CD that came with that installation.

    Thank you

    You could use another method to start your computer (like a Knoppix/Ubuntu or Hiren boot CD) and copy them to your personal data to an external device, you can move/slave your HARD drive to another system and see if you can copy the data off that way.

    This could work, but for me this looks like a lot of trouble and I only take it only after having exhausted all other methods of fixing what you have.

    Assuming you want to fix what you have (or at least make an effort to do so)...

    Despite what the message said, interpret it as meaning that XP just cannot find the file or XP is told to find the file in the right place.  This means not the file is missing or damaged - XP just cannot find it.

    There are two things to do that don't require to have an installation CD:

    run a chkdsk/r from the XP Recovery Console
    you rebuild the file c:\boot.ini from the XP Recovery Console

    Start with the chkdsk command, and here's how:

    The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination? (This includes the plug pulling, buttons power and removing the battery).

    These can cause corruption in the file system that must be fixed before you do anything else.

    If none of these events occurred (or even if they have not taken place), you must verify the integrity of your file system before anything else (especially "try" things).

    There is zero logic to begin to try to begin to try to modify or copy files to a hard drive that has a corrupted file system, so this must first be fixed using the XP chkdsk program and run chkdsk on your hard drives may solve your problem completely.

    Use the XP Recovery Console to check the file system on your HARD drive and fix the problems and then try to start your system - this may be all you need to do.  Or, you are welcome to just start trying things that might work.

    Boot into the Recovery Console Windows using an XP bootable installation CD.

    If you have no XP bootable media (or aren't sure you have) create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console and do not forget.

    This is not the same as recovery disks that might have come with the acquisition of the system store.

    You can make a bootable Recovery Console CD by downloading an ISO file and burn it to a CD.

    The ISO bootable image file you need to download is called:

    xp_rec_con. ISO

    Download the ISO from here:

    http://www.mediafire.com/?ueyyzfymmig

    Use a new CD and this simple and free program to burn your ISO file and create your bootable CD:

    http://www.ImgBurn.com/

    When you install ImgBurn, DO NOT install the Ask toolbar.

    Here are some instructions for ImgBurn:

    http://Forum.ImgBurn.com/index.php?showtopic=61

    It would be a good idea to test your bootable CD on a computer running.

    You may need to adjust the computer BIOS settings to use the CD-ROM drive as the first device to boot instead of the hard drive.  These adjustments are made before Windows tries to load.  If you miss it, you will need to restart the system again.

    When you start on the CD, follow the instructions:

    Press any key to boot from CD...

    Installing Windows... going to pronounce.

    Press 'R' to enter the Recovery Console.

    Select the installation that you want to access (usually 1: C:\WINDOWS)

    You may be asked to enter the password (usually empty).

    You should be in the folder C:\WINDOWS.  It's the same as the

    C:\Windows folder that you see in Solution Explorer.

    The Recovery Console allows base as file commands: copy, rename, replace, delete, chkdsk, fixboot, fixmbr, cd, etc.

    For a list of the commands in the Recovery Console, type help at the prompt of commands or read on here XP Recovery Console:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/proddocs/en-us/recovery_console_cmds.mspx?mfr=true

    A good idea before you start things must first verify the integrity of your file system by using the chkdsk command.

    In the command prompt window, run the chkdsk command on the drive where Windows is installed to try to fix any problems on the afflicted player.

    Running chkdsk is fine, even if he finds no problem.  It won't hurt anything to run it.

    Assuming your boot drive is C, run the following command:

    CHKDSK C: /r

    Let chkdsk finish to correct the problems, he could find.

    It may take a long time for chkdsk complete or they seem to be "stuck".  Be patient.  If the HARD drive led blinks always, chkdsk is something.  Keep an eye on the amount of the percentage to be sure that it is still making progress.  It may even seem to go back sometime.

    You must run chkdsk/r again until it finds no error to correct.

    Remove the CD, and then type "exit" to exit the RC and restart the computer.

    You have not to set the BIOS to boot the disk HARD since the CD won't be.
