Hard drive recovery is so simple if you really know what is wrong with your hard drive. Detecting what is wrong with the hard drive gives you an idea about the possible solutions that can save you the fees of a hard drive recovery service. Let us take a look about the possibilities here.

First, you need to know the real reason stooping your hard drive from booting. If the computer cannot detect the hard drive from the beginning, try to change from IDE1 to IDE 2 and change the corresponding values in the BIOS, may be this will solve the problem and spare you the hard drive recovery fees.

When you power up your computer try to detect the spinning sound of your hard drive. If the hard drive is spinning but with a clicking sound then the problem is probably from the wear and tear in the axis of the hard drive. If there is no spinning sound at all then the problem may be due to broken motor or due to bulged read/ write head. Some times the problem is not from inside the hard drive but, may be from the circuit board located outside. You can try to fix any of the previous problems by either of these solutions.

The simplest solution is applying the “freeze, hit and drop technique”. This was used by old professional hard drive recovery technicians to get the hard drive to work for a short time just to copy all the data from it. Get your hard drive out of the computer and put it in a freezer bag, to avoid moisture and condensate”, put it in the freezer over night and try to connect it to your computer in the morning and see what happened. Freezing could contract some components of the hard drive or fix a small breakage in the circuit board which enables a temporary hard drive recovery for a very short period. This permits copying some of the important data on the drive before it falls dead again.

Also you may try holding the hard drive while it is connected to the computer and when it starts to spin, twisted in a right angle manner then get it back to its original position, hard recovery experts say that this may loosen a bulged head or put it back on the track. These techniques may help in hard drive data recovery and could be used instead
