Data recovery

Dear colleagues,

Please advise if there is any method that allows you to recover data from a hard drive from a laptop that has survived a fall? The laptop tries to boot, but when the Win XP logo appears, it crashes with a blue screen.

A user who did not make a certain report, hiding behind the fact that all the data allegedly disappeared, blames the IT department. I really want to restore at least part of the data in order to restore justice. Tried the GetDataBack utility. The utility worked for a day, but the result was zero, although earlier it was possible to save data from some hard drives.

If you take a screw from the laptop and hook it to Windows, then this can help - Ontrack EasyRecovery Portable .
Or, if not taking it out to boot from Hiren Boot CD , there are generally a bunch of data recovery utilities.
But the first way is preferable in my opinion.

Try programs like Victoria or MHDD; they often help to “revive” broken screws somewhat. In this case, it is better not to use USB adapters, but to connect directly.
Alternatively, (if the screw is defined) boot into some thread of a Unix LiveCD and 'dd' the image from there to a file (while the screw is being read), and then only work with it. Put the screw on a shelf and do not touch it - as a last resort, it may have to be taken to a special service. Although, if it comes to loading the OS, the prospects for recovering data “at home” are not bad.

Did the user drop the laptop? If yes, then technically, if the survey can be completed, it is SSZB in any case.

There are stories about how screws are put into a bag and on a balcony or in a refrigerator for 15 minutes.
There is some truth in this. Especially with such a load as byte-by-byte reading, the screw needs to be cooled with something.

Hello. It is hardly realistic to completely restore information from a hard drive with such a problem at home on your own.
But it is possible to completely bring the disk to an inoperative state with the help of programs.
If you need to recover your information, please contact Storelab.
