Data Recovery Broken Hard Drive
Western digital 1tb recovery?
Last night my external hard drive took a nasty tumble. The case popped up slightly (less than a quarter inch) but no inner workings were exposed. When I went to plug it back in the white light on the back of the hard drive was blinking and I could hear and feel the drive spinning but it didn’t register on neither my nor my girlfriend’s PC. We’re both running Windows Vista. The connecting cable is working fine, and I’m pretty sure nothing inside the hard drive is broken. I’ve tried a few file recovery programs but I don’t think they’re finding the external either. I know manual data recovery is also expensive so I’m curious if anyone has a program or has encountered a similar situation. And if it is beyond recovery software does anyone know a good place for data recovery in Toronto? Any help is appreciated.
seems more like the components of the external hard drive case may now be faulty , I am guessing the USB that connects the drive to your puter , grab another external hard drive case off Ebay ,and put your old hard drive in that , I reckon in should then work , lights flashing and spinning means that it has survived in my book.
