If you are combing the internet for hard disk failure recovery solutions, you need to be sure of how the drive in question has actually failed. If your hard drive is making clicking noises or you noticed smoke or burning smells emanating from your personal computer, then you obviously have physical damage to the drive or its related components. But, if your issue is that your PC displays only a black or bright blue Windows error screen upon startup or sticks at the loading screen, all you have wrong is what is known as a logic crash. With a logic crash, you have simply lost a few essential operating system files which is what prevents Windows from starting. The solution to a damaged Windows operating system is just to reload your OS and default applications/drivers. The greater issue is that before you can do such a thing, you must recover your still stored and inaccessible files on your hard disk drive. If you don’t recover your files, reloading windows will erase and overwrite them through reformatting of the disk.
You have nothing to worry about though, as you have found File Finder. File Finder was built first and foremost with recovery of files on logic crashed drives in mind.
The File Finder recovery program is run from a CD or DVD which you create from the downloaded installation package. When you load the recovery disc into your computer and then restart it, your logic crashed hard drive will no longer be a factor, as File Finder runs from the CD drive, RAM and microprocessor or your PC. This enables your computer to start up and you will be able to run File Finder to recover and save any of your once inaccessible files to a safe external storage device.
