Repair of External Hard Disk Drive

By bawaqar

I have an external hard disk, which fell down yesterday and isn't working.
The data in the disk itself is more valuable than disk.
I even took it to Sofitel market but people seem reluctant to work on it or fix it.
Can someone please help me fix it ?
or, at the least help me recover data from it.

Thanks to both of you CityComputers (Shafi Kazim)& Yusoff68.

As you can see the problem initiated in Oct 2010 and after numerous efforts here in Qatar and then in Pakistan, I lost hope and throw it away.

Indeed, I lost some useful data but lesson learnt is to be more careful in handling such delicate stuff.

Where you able to repair your hard drive?

No one seems to be capable of repairing hard drives at sofitel or at least not willing to...

Open up the external HDD case carefully and remove the hard disk.

Use another compatible case and check if its working.

Usually the case goes kaput but the disk works.

do you hear some clicking sounds when you plug it in?

if yes, its a piece of junk, but if not you may try to ask some store there in sofitel if you can have their external HDD enclosures tested first before you buy-with your hdd, saying if it works you pay them and give some tips, if still a no no...no chance dude!

there might be some chances of some ic's of the enclosures are damaged not the hdd, but you may check..

Thanks for all for your various comments.

Special thanks to ones making positive & hioeful comments.

@ uksv29....

Its HITACHI External Hard Drive 1 TB capacity. It is externally Powered as well.

When I connect to PC, the light comes up and the hard disk sounds like its trying to read but fails.

I have a hope that I wud be able to recover data. Even loss of some partial data is acceptable to me.

Now, I wanna know the exact person who can help me. I am willing to visit along with the disk.

provided the disk platters are intact[1].

You need to find someone to clone the disk track by track onto a new drive then do a filesystem repair.

What sort of disk drive do you have and what is the capacity?

Andy

[1] many recent drives have glass platters which can shatter when dropped.
