Damaging your hard drive is inevitable,if it doesnt happen to you, it might happenbto someone you know and we have come up with a perfect solution to help you out when the need arrives..you night also want you buy an external hard drive or a couple of handy ones to carry along wherever you go...

Here lets begin...

1. Connect The Hard Drive To Another Computer

Before you can do any word on your crashed hard drive, you have to remove it, except if its an external hard drive then connect it to another machine..

Get a USB IDE/SATA adapter
If you are in Nigeria yiu can get one from jumia.com.ng or konga com.ng
They sell at affordable rates...
Its cheap USB 3 adapter,affordable and above all faster in operation... I still prefer this though

If you dont have the adapter available then you then you could just connect it to another computer... This means pulling off another computers hard drive just to fix the broken one.. Make sure the computer detects the hard drive in its BIOS else it wont detect the drive once  the computer boots up...

2. Try copying the data to another hard drive

Yes, after you have inserted the dameged hard drive in another system either internally or externally through USB sticks.. Try copying the files in the hard drive... Im sure yiu will be able to copy the user files cause only the operating system would be corrupt...

Copy the files you want to recover and you are good to go...

3. Download and try data recovery software

If yiu have tried the above steps and it all didnt work out.. Please download any of the recovery softwares that I will list below to sort tings out..

And please dont write or install anything on the corrupt hard drive else you risk overwriting and losing all your data...
