Thanks for the answers. I am going to have to take to a third party and pay them. I got lost at the second sentence in Chucky's reply. I don't want to just get rid of it without trying as there ar some files on there i would like (yeah, yeah...i back up now).

Maybe, depends how broken the drive is. There's another thread about data recovery around here somewhere. If you can hear the drive clicking but your PC says or acts like it is dead you might bring it back to life with a new controller PCB.Just Robbed wrote:Was told the hard drive in my 8 year old HP desktop was bust today.
Got the hard drive back.
Any way data can be recovered here in PP?
Years of documents, music and photos. Backed up to an external drive last time about 4 year's ago.

Thanks Walkjivefly.
I'm guessing there may he a better chance of having one of those whiskies in the IT malls in Singapore or Bangkok have a go at data recovery unless there is a smoking hot tech in PP.

Depends on the drive, but probably around $60 delivered. Track down that other thread, it has a link to the company I used about 6 months ago. I think there was mention of an actual data recovery specialist too.violet wrote:how much does a controller PCB (whatever it is) cost?walkjivefly wrote:Maybe, depends how broken the drive is.

in order to recover it you'll need to do a platter transfer, in fact its generally better to do a platter transfer anyway, rather than just the PCB,
if you have an identical drive its relatively easy (if you know what you are doing, and better yet have access to a neg pressure clean room)
also clicking can be due to warping - this can be temporarily fixed by freezing the drive in a vacum sealed bag, then immediately DD'ing the drive to another storage medium.
However, you'd be better off contacting a data forensics specialist in Bangkok,
I don't know any consumer level data recovery folk in Asia - all the people I deal with are enterprise, so you are looking at $500 - $1000 USD for assessment and a minimum charge of $3500USD for recovery.
Interestingly, thanks a lot for making some points clear. What about backing up personal data? How to do it as successfully as possible?
Recently I became interested in this question, because lately there has been a lot of information and data accumulated that need to be preserved and in no case. https://thinkmobiles.com/blog/best-disk ... -software/ This is where I found software that should help me. What do you guys advise? What program can be used safely and most effectively?

I have moved on from this 3 year old post, but your reply may be of use to others. Thank you. Hope you are well, vlad. I had a moment of thinking you may have left this world.
