Hard Drive Data Recovery


June 20th, 2004


By GadgetManiac

Interesting article over at PC Review regarding advice on how to recover from a hdd failure. Includes techniques I’d never heard of, such as-
>Place the hard drive upside down in the drive cage
>Put the hard drive in the freezer overnight

The article states that many, if not most, hdd problems are due to a corrupt Master Boot Record, and that the SCANDISK and CHKDSK tools can sometimes/often correct such errors.
