Hard Drive Crash! DATA RECOVERY HELP!!! Feb 08, 2007
I have an external 60GB hard drive that has alot of my saved work that just stopped working. The IT department in my company tried to access the data with no success, however they did say that someone with the right data recovery equipment could tackle the issue.

Can someone please tell me if there is anyone in Dubai that can help me recover my life's work?

Hi, i believe i've seen some companies specializing in data recovery here in Dubai, why don't you Google and check the companies?
I would like to help you but unfortunately i can't remember the names, i found them on Gulf news few weeks ago.

I know how it feels because i've been in the same situation many years ago :(

2 type of hard disk damage.

1. None physical, which means ur hard disk still spins and the mechanics are not broken, just corrupt partition or files.

2. Physically damaged, like the hard disk falling down and cracking in half, disk does not spin, internal damage, disk scratches.

Case 1 can be EASILY solved free.

http://www.hot-paprika.com/erdr.exe (worth over 300 USD, free for you)

Case 2, ur screwed....i myself have searched all over the UAE and did not find any company that specialize in data recovery for case 2.

If you can post the exact model and all the information from the phsyical drive. (remove it from the case to get this information) someone may be able to help you.

Is it that the drive simply does not power on or startup anymore? If so it is very fixable but it may be a difficult/costly fix depending on what model of hard drive you have.

3 steps to consider with your hard disk.

1. Did you drop it or tampered with it physically?
- Probable cause of failure will be Physical failure
- Solution find a company with the right equiptment and experience in data exctraction.

2. Have you accidentally reformated it or corrupted your HD.

- Probable cause will be non physical failure
- Solutions you can recover it your self using data recovery softwares or give it to a company with a better softwares and experiance.

3. You didn't drop your HD and you are sure that you haven't corrupted or accidentaly reformatted you HD.

- Probale cause will be your HD controller or your external HD casing.
- Solution you can buy a new HD case and try accessing your HD or other wise if its your HD controller having a problem well regardless of Laptops or Desktops, ask your local tech support guy.

We can help you with data recovery if the problem us not physical, we can also change your HD casing with extra cost that is.

Bunch of amateurs who dont know nothing.

2 type of data recovery

1. Software
You use software to recover all corrupt and deleted files.
Hundreds freely available online. Such as "Recuva"


2. Hardware
THERE IS NO COMPANY IN THE UAE, who will open your hard drive and recover the data on the disc that is in it. Usually, when you drop a hard drive for example (like i did 3 years ago) you break a pin inside it that holds the disk....if your lucky, u did not scratch the disk, the harddisk case can be opened, disk removed, and put into a case of another similar hard disk casing. THIS PROCEDURE IS VERY DELICATE and can omply be performed int he right environment....THEY DO NOT DO THIS IN THE UAE.....ALL COMPANIES USE SOFTWARE RECOVERY TOOLS LIKE I MENTIONED ABOVE.....what more do you expect from lol....such people.

If your case is #2. Ur faked......

Hello everyone. This is a prime example why a 150 dollar external hard drive is worth it's weight in gold. Backup your "life" I've seen this happen before and yes they will be lucky to retrieve their data. Depends what actually happened to it. Once I brought a hard disc back to life by merely unplugging it and pugging back in. That was lucky.

Hi guys,
There are two types of Hard Drive damages.

1. None physical, which means ur hard disk still spins and the mechanics are not broken, just corrupt partition or files.

2. Physically damaged, like the hard disk falling down and cracking in half, disk does not spin, internal damage, disk scratches.

In case one you can easily save your all data and fixed the problems.

There is a software called (FINAL DATA)(just type FINAL DATA SOFTWARE in google search engine) by using this software you can recover your all data i have tried this software and recovered my all data eaisly.

In this type of situation, better to go for any third party recovery tools like "remo recover". As I used this application to restore data from hard drive and it retrieved all the files in few minutes. Hope it will also help you

I need help from the experts... My Seagate 320gb stopped working (suspect electrical power surge). I sent it to a recovery lab but received the bad news after internal check is that the disc is scratched and data could not be recovered. Can anyone tell me if it is worth clinging to hope that someone can recover the data or shall I just toss it?? Appreciate any feedback. Thanks
