Topic Retreive data from crashed external hdd?

iceprincessa

hi just wanted to ask if there was a way to salvage the data on my external harddisk which crashed... is there another way other then sending it to professionals? I'm not really a hardware sorta person

That depends on how it has crashed..
Mehanical failure or can't you just read from it?
Any error messages when you try to connect it?

When my hard drive crashed I sent it over to my computer whiz friend and he salvaged all my data. I know their is a way, but I don't how.

You can use those data recovery softwares but they don't always work. I guess that they are doing something other than using softwares.

The best way is to take it to the professionals. I am not quite sure where you live but if you have yellow pages I am sure you will find a number to call to.

Since very few people know how to get the data back it will be best not to try anything without professional help. Or it might get worse.
