a friend asked me if I could recover some data off of a drive for her I said i can try to get some data off using data recovery software but cant guarantee anything depending on how badly damaged the drive is especially if its clicking any one here recommend a particular software they found works well? i have a basic one that can pull data off but if there is a more powerful one I can get off the internet i'd prefer to use that thanks in advance
lol. The expert asking the novices for advance. Hey, I hate recovering HDs. I was just going to ask you for help. first thing to consider is the external drive bays/readers. Get the HD out of her box and see if your machine can read it.
its actually an external that went bad i have some data recovery software i just havent used it in probably 2 years, the one we have here at work i just wanted to know if anyone used anything more recent that works better. the one we have is SalvageData Recovery
I use Piriform's Recuva to recover files I accidentaly deleted, not sure if that is what you are looking for though.
