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 hard 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 hard drive. So in order to rescue stored files on that crashed hard drive all we need is a program that can open that drive. Only the program that accesses your computer’s hard drive is part of your Windows operating system. But in a crashed drive those are the files that are damaged.
The service lab approach to hard disk data recovery
When a data recovery 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 the hard drive of the working computer. 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 computer is showing a blue Windows error screen indicative of a crashed hard 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 hard disk data recovery is File Finder
File Finder 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 computer and open on that computer the hard disk drive as well as all of the digital storage connected. File Finder 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 File Finder can recover them. Hard disk data recovery doesn’t have to be an impossible task. Using File Finder anyone can access the files on a crashed hard disk drive and save them to safe external storage in minutes.
