1st Step In How To Recover Data From Clicking Hard Drive AKA The Click of Death

Video Description

This video is to educate you on the most important part of the process of recovering data from a clicking hard drive - which is diagnosing the problem. It includes facts about clicking drives and how to avoid making your situation worse. One thing to understand is there is a point where running the drive another minute could cause your data to become unrecoverable. This video should be able to help you make educated decisions during the recovery process, and ultimately help you recover your files safely. First of all when your hard drive is clicking, it means the read/write heads are not getting the signals they need to know where to go to start reading the data. The first area the heads visit is the Service Area where all the information is stored pertaining to the functionality, identification, repairs, and stability of the drive. When you hear the click that is the head stack returning back to it's parking position because it cannot find the Service Area. When it slams back into its parking position it clicks. This can and will wear out the heads and cause further issues if left in this state and continued to be powered on. Hard drive clicking? Have you heard of the click of death? Well don't believe everything you hear, your drive isn't necessarily dead, and your data can still be recovered in most cases. Most of the time when you hear a hard drive clicking noise it's not going to need a clean room either. Usually in the cases where the computer or external drive has been dropped, is when your drive will need to make a pit stop FIRST in a clean room. Of course read/write heads go bad from time to time, and you will need a very expensive piece of equipment in order to properly and safely diagnose the cause of your hard drive's clicking. If your drive clicks and stays spinning there is a really good chance a professional with the right equipment and experience will be able to recover your files. When it comes to clicking hard drives it is not recommended for any one other than data recovery professionals to work on recovering them. This is due to the fact that most of the time there is a serious issue that needs to be fixed (temporarily repaired) for recovery purposes, and it requires some expensive technology and major experience. Of course not every situation is the same so while one person might get lucky trying an online "fix", usually the longer the drive spins and stays on the worse the clicking will get and ultimately the head stack will get worn out and crash into the platters.
