Help me….my hard disk is damaged!


Hi everyone , I am employed as a manager in a firm. I have a problem that I had like to talk about. My system was working fine the other day, but while copying a file by nero….the system hanged and I had to restart it. But I got a disk boot failure error. Then , I tried to run a windows xp installation CD, but that is also showing some error message during installation and the installation fails.I did check the bios settings and the disk fails to show…and had it checked on another system also…but bios cannot detect the hard disk.I think the disk is damaged or something like that.The disk has important data from my company’s point of view…..that I need to recover.
Please let me know if there are any ways to get my data back from this disk!!!!

Re: Help me….my hard disk is damaged!!!


Several things can happen when you shut down/restart a computer without gracefully exiting. The most common is that the programs that were running get corrupted (especially any open documents). Next, Windows itself can get corrupted, though it's a little better about this nowadays than in years past. The big thing to worry about is messing up the drive itself, which is actually quite rare for this situation.

If you can't get any computer to recognize it, then you might have to look at a data recovery firm. Prices can range from several hundred to several thousand dollars, depending on what happened to the drive and what the company has to do to recover the data.
