Hard Drive Makes Sound, How Recover Lost Data From Hard Drive

Most computer users, like myself, understand very little about the technical problems of a system

. But we all know that just because we don't know or understand it, doesn't mean it doesn't exist. The problem with hard drives is that we don't know what is going on inside it. We only hear sounds etc and can seldom diagnose the problem ourselves.

My computer started giving me some trouble some days back. I heard some screeching sounds coming from the drive. For several days I ignored them. But then one day it just wouldn't start. I could hear the 'fan' start and then stop within a few minutes, but the system wouldn't start. I'm sure many people face this problem. There are certain simple symptoms to it:

You can hear screeching or beeping sounds from the drive.

The system and all your applications run very slowly.

The final step is of course when your system won't start. Like most people in my situation, I panicked. I thought I had lost all my data, and added to that I would have to bear the brunt of buying a new system.

Since I'm not a computer expert, I called Stellar Data Recovery Services, India to help me diagnose the problem. They explained it to me very simply.

The hard drive, is made of many components and is thus very sensitive.

The 'Platter' is where all the information/data is stored in the HDD (hard disk drive).

The 'Shaft Motor' rotates the platter, while the 'Read-Write Head' reads and writes the data from/to them.

The Voice Coil' helps in movement of the Read-Write Head

The 'Head Assembly' maintains a distance between the platter and the head.

A single parts failure could lead to the whole drive stalling. This doesn't always mean that we need to buy a new computer, as I used to think!! It only means that the particular part needs to be either repaired or replaced. Data Recovery Services not only offer 'recovery services' but also repair services.

Stellar DRS then took my computer to their lab, and repaired the faulty motor spindle and then returned the system with all it's data intact. Since they have a 'No Data, No Charge' policy, I knew I had nothing to lose in letting them try. And it worked. I have my system backperfectly fit and finewith all its data intact and the charge wasn't half as much as that of buying a whole new system!!
