Back up your Data Regularly
One of the best ways to recover data is to back up your system on a regular basis. In addition, make sure you back up your system as soon as you start seeing signs that it might crash. For example, if your hard drive starts making noises or has been running for a while without shutting down, it might be time to start backing up the data. It’s always a good idea to use an external hard drive and save the files on this device. This way, even if your computer crashes, you’ll still have access to the data. You can also keep an updated copy at home on another device, such as a laptop or tablet.
Format the Hard Drive Before Deleting any Data
If a hard drive crashes, you should always try to format the hard drive before deleting any data. Formatting the hard drive is an essential step that ensures all data on the hard drive is deleted. If you don’t do this, there may still be information on your computer that can be recovered.
Reinstall the Operating System
If the hard drive crash is not too severe and the data can still be read, one effective way to recover data is to reinstall the operating system. This will typically restore access to all of the data on your hard drive. It’s a good idea to take a backup of your data before reinstalling. You then have a copy of your original data in case something goes wrong with the new installation.
Recover Deleted Files with a data Recovery Tool
One way to recover your data is with a data recovery tool. It’s possible that deleted files can be recovered with this tool. Here are steps to follow:
1. Install the data recovery tool on a working PC.
2. Connect your crashed hard drive to the working PC via an external hard drive adapter, or connect it directly to the computer if it is not too damaged.
3. Once the program recognizes the crashed hard drive, select “Formatted Disk Recovery” or “Deleted File Recovery” depending on what you want to recover from your device.
4. Click on “Next” and wait for the software to scan for any recoverable files from your device.
5. When scanning is complete, click on “Next” again and then select all of the files you wish to recover and click “Save” or “Recover”
Install a New Hard Drive And Save your Data
Install a new hard drive and save your data is the first method to recover data from a crashed hard drive. As mentioned previously, when a hard drive crashes, it’s usually because it’s old. Installing a new hard drive can fix such a problem. All you need to do is install the new hard drive and copy all of your files from the old hard drive onto the new one. You will then be able to access these files on the new hard drive.
