SATA Hard Drive failed during Vista installation ... Trying to get back my data...


It all happens when I was trying to upgrade my system with VISTA Well, I don’t know how but my hard drive died on me... and Vista won't boot. Interestingly, when I pop the drive into an external enclosure, and turn it on inside of VISTA, it causes the computer to crash, and restart. I spent some time searching these forums for some help, but figured after about 15 minutes, that I should start my own post.

I would love to do this recovery myself, but the data is very important and crucial that I don’t want to take any risk. Can anyone offer me some pointers as to where I might begin, given the strange crashing symptom?

Any and all help appreciated.

It could be bad sectors / damage to partition table or file system structure in such away that it will hang the system. I suggest downloading manufacture disk drive test or you can try the partition repair/data recovery software by “Salvage Data Recovery Lab Inc”. You can find it easily if you just run a search in google it’s name… Instructions are clear while installing. Connect your drive as secondary drive on the system (not external) / or even primary and let that software run. That at least will let you know if drive is ok.
