Here's the situation. A laptop computer comes to us with a hard disk died. Unfortunately, you need a few files from the disk died. He decided, after some Internet research and a couple of data recovery quotes we have to try to retrieve information itself.

Fortunately for us, the unit will not start 'to turn all. I say fortunately, because the usual problem that the board of evil in the bottom of the disk is gone. This does not mean that something differentis not the problem, but replacing the motherboard, the easiest thing is to try.

The first of what is required, another hard drive. That may sound easy, but it is not. You need a blank disc, I would say the same thing with the same model, part number, firmware, everything. In our case, we had a Hitachi Travelstar hard drive, which was equal to three digits. The key figures are the model number, part number, and the number of MLC. I thinkNumber of MLC has something with the firmware version, but do not quote me on it. After speaking with Hitachi, I was called a "society" CUETEC. They specialize in research to find "difficult" or parts of obsolete computers. That was between $ 200 and $ 400 for the unit, which I thought prosecution was required to work to find the rational. Instead of using them, I decided to watch at your own pace, and after two days has not yet found another disc for sale satisfied my needs. Then searched the house for laptops and found that he had such a blank disc. Now we have been in the business world.

Now that we've had our tour, we had to protect ourselves, because the user wanted the machine back in order. So before you start any kind of operation we have a ghost image of the hard drive. After a wait of 20 minutes or so to complete the backup we started the operation. First, we removed the hard> Drive system to work and put them on a block with static circuit. We will then fix a T-5 Torx screws on the PCB on the hard drive removed. The unit may need a different size or style of screwdriver. We then repeated the process on the disk ugly. We have the printed circuit board from the hard disk drive good people and put them back in the laptop. It 'started! Once we have new IT --We then worked on the system configuration to create an image Quick Drive. After waiting for another 20 minutes we had a disk image of your hard disk bad, and our data have been restored.

To complete the process that we had on board back to the original hard disk and share good and make sure it works properly. Once this was completed, and the handset back to the owners, who installed a new hard drive in the system,original problem. The last step was to restore the drive with the new hard drive, make sure it worked, and give the laptop back to the owner.
