Hard disk data recovery for beginners and experienced PC users alike
The process of hard disk data recovery contains two pitfalls. The first is that the disk in question may possibly be physically damaged. If this is the case then it must be repaired before files stored on it can be recovered. And the temporary repair required can only be done in a certified clean room. Cost for such a repair and recovery of the data on that disk generally runs in the neighborhood of $1000.00. Fortunately, files being locked away in a crashed hard drive due to physical damage is an extremely rare occurrence. This second pitfall is known as a logic crash. In 99% of the cases hard drive failure is based on corruption of the files used to command the hardware. So in order to rescue stored information on that crashed PC all we need is a program that can open the internal drive. Only the program that accesses your computer’s hard disk is part of your Windows operating system. But in a crashed drive those are the files that are damaged.
The service lab approach to finding files
When a service lab attempts hard disk data recovery on a computer that has suffered a logic crash they do so by connecting the affected hard drive in tandem with a working PC. The working computer’s operating system opens the locked drive so that any files desired can be copied out.
Where does this leave the average person whose desktop or laptop is showing a blue Windows error screen indicative of a crashed drive? The average computer user is not prepared and does not have the experience to dismantle two computers and connect them to each other.
A far better solution for retrieving lost data
FileFinder is an amazing data recovery tool that loads on to any Windows based PC a separate Windows operating system that runs only from that computer’s short term memory or RAM. This miniature Vista OS will start up any PC and open on that computer the internal drive as well as all of the digital storage connected. FileFinder will also scan a computer’s hard drive and all the connected devices for any files that have been recently deleted. As long as those files have not been overwritten with other information FileFinder can recover them. Hard disk data recovery doesn’t have to be an impossible task. Using FileFinder anyone can access the files on a crashed drive and save them to safe external storage in minutes.
