Go to HDD -> Cloning Tools -> EASEUS Disk Copy.ĭo a disk copy to another device that has enough space free. If you suspect disk failure you might even want to consider to exercise the back-up instead so you can still send your hard drive to forensics companies if you really need the data. Optionally, to ensure quality, make sure it verifies the CD.Īs we'll try to recover the file system and/or recover the data we are going to tamper with the disk, for this reason you might want to take a preliminary back-up to ensure that if things go wrong you still have a back-up available.

Optionally, to ensure quality, run a checksum with this program against the checksum listed here.īurn the ISO to a CD using ImgBurn on Windows, LiquidCD on Mac OSX or Brasero on Linux. Most tools used in this post are all available on the Ultimate Boot CD.ĭownload the Ultimate Boot CD at the bottom of this page: Click on the icon next to a mirror. Downloading and burn an Ultimate Boot CD needed for further steps. If you are recovering from an USB stick, try to connect it to the back of your computer, try different ports. If you are recovering from an external hard drive, try to get it out and connect it using a SATA cable. This means that you want to get rid of any extra USB cables, USB hubs or equipment you don't need.
When recovering files from an external drive it's important to have the shortest connection possible. branding on one of the ICs), the most common one I see is from Winbond and they typically work with any memory chip. Usually the board doesn't even have to be from a similar drive, just try to get the chip provider correct (e.g. You can usually just unplug the memory and plug it in to another board. Many of the cheaper sticks you see have two boards - one is the controller and the second (not sure the technical term), is a snap on daughter board. If however it is the controller, I have only ever had luck about 40% of the time doing it myself(and it depends on the architecture of the stick). If it is the memory itself, I do not know a fix. If it is the flash memory itself, it sort of acts like a floppy/CD drive without the media in - you can see a drive letter, but just can't access it (sometimes get the insert media warning). Typically, if it is the controller, when you plug in the drive, nothing will happen.
Is the error with the controller or the memory? If you want to do it yourself, there isn't really a lot to say. If it is a controller board problem then, the only way to fix it is to re-flash the drive (check manufacturers website), or most commonly, switch the controller board (Carefully) from one that is an identical model.įor flash drives, again, if important, go to a lab. Put the drive in an air tight bag and stick it in the freezer for a good few hours (I usually leave it in for 6 hours or overnight), then, when you plug it in, you can get a good 15-30 minutes before it crashes again.
This sounds like a joke but it really is not. * (I have actually had drives fail a read from a sector, but just from trying over and over, it has worked - even unplugging and plugging it back in)ĭepending on how important the data is, and if you are not able to read, I would try the freezer trick. My favourite tool for this (not free) is R-Studio, it allows you to create an image from the drive and performs many passes*, then perform the recovery from the image. This is the worst thing that can happen to a physical hard drive, If it is this, it really depends how bad. However, if you want to do it yourself, you can summarise mechanical failure into two categories: Spindle/inside problems or outside/controller problems.įirst, Spindle/inside problems.

If it is very important data, I would recommend taking it to a lab / professional data recovery service. random crashes, just stops working one day, weird "screeching"/"beeping" type noises), EVERY time you plug it in and turn on, you could be making it much worse. Pray, it will help you and calm you down.
