Hard Drive Failure

Hard drive failure is a fairly common occurrence but that doesn’t prevent it from being a highly aggravating inconvenience. If it does happen to you, the first thing you will want to keep in mind is to not panic. The key thing to remember is that in almost all instances of hard drive failure, your data can be recovered and transferred to a new hard drive and you’ll be off and running again. If you have experienced hard drive failure, you may need the services of a qualified data recovery company.

How to tell if you are experiencing hard drive failure

Just because your computer isn’t working, it does not mean that your hard drive has failed. The problem could be related to another piece of hardware or it could be that an important file from your operating system may have been deleted. If it turns out that your operating system is damaged, often times you can perform an operating system repair by simply reinstalling the system. This is a particularly common fix for Windows systems.

If the problem is related to a piece of hardware other than the hard drive, take it to a good local computer repair shop, get the problematic part replaced, and the data on your hard drive will be fine. The important thing to remember is to stop using your computer until it is looked at by a professional because a damaged motherboard, as an example, can be harmful to your hard drive data.

In the case of hard drive failure, you will typically receive certain messages from your computer. Irregular hard disk noises, for instance, indicate that there is something wrong as does the relatively common onscreen Inaccessible Boot Device message. If you have received this message, again, don’t panic. There are steps you can take to determine the severity of this issue. First, the problem could be that the hard drive isn’t plugged in correctly. Again, it is always best to look to the simple solution first.

If your system is plugged in, enter your BIOS on rebooting your computer and make sure it is a) recognized by your computer and b) it is listed in your BIOS as the primary boot device. Again, if you don’t know what BIOS is, find someone who does. If changed have to made in your BIOS, this is likely the cause.

Data loss comes in various degrees of severity, with different solutions available depending on the cause. To learn more about the three major degrees of data loss, read file recovery software, get data back, and hard drive data recovery.

Recovering data lost due to hard drive failure

If you are hearing strange noises coming from your hard drive, it is highly likely that it has either mechanically failed, or is in the process of failing. In this case, it is always a good idea to power down the system immediately. A damaged hard drive can typically only be repaired by a certified data recovery service.
