Data Recovery Index

My external hard drive died out of nowhere. I plugged it as usual and it didn’t detect. So I disassembled the external and installed that hard drive into the desktop. When I boot up into windows it detects the hard drive but it shows as an unallocated drive.

Is there any software (free or for purchase) that will allow me to see my data?

TestDisk is pretty good. It is a free data recovery software that can run on multiple operating systems, which includes Windows, Mac, and Linux.

I have my hard drive that won’t boot connected by USB to a working computer. How can I run a system recovery cd on my broken hard drive through the working computer? I need to do this because my other cd rom drive is broken as well. Please help me if you can thanks!

Put in the recovery disc for that hard drive and see if it will allow you to select the broken one, not the working one.

If that doesn’t work swap out the hard drives, putting the broken one in only and run the disc. If your BOOT settings run the hard drive before the disc, you’ll have to go in the BOOT menu at startup (by hitting F2 or some combination, differs from manufacturers) and set it to run CDs before loading the hard drive.

Good Luck!
