nivram4491 Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Does anyone know of a shop in Chiang Mai that can either repair an external 1 TB hard drive or failing that recover the data from it? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotEinstein Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 What symptoms does the disk have? e.g. Is it completely dead, or does it making clonking noises? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The light still flashes but the computer can't read the data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have done this a few times successfully. If you don't have easy access to linux, you can visit me and i'll try for you.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mogoso Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Take it out, put it in a zip lock baggie, and put it in the freezer overnight. Reinstall and back up data. Probably a youvideo on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FolkGuitar Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Get a copy of 'Hiren's Boot Disk.' There are dozens of programs on that disk that will help in all kinds of problems, especially ones such as yours. There are programs that will 'recognize' a drive even when Windoze refuses to do so, giving you the opportunity to copy the data onto a new drive while you work to try to fix what ever problem the old one has. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB1955 Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 If the disk is making a clattering noise its pretty much a lost casue unless you want to send it to a clean room . If the drive is dead the freezer trick works wonders it will usually stay active long enough to transfer the data although in a few cases I have had the drives become totally operative after being froozen for a few days ............
