I agree with noxcho on not using software which writes to the drive, which could make it worse. &nbsp;GetDataBack lets you try it out and it costs nothing to see if it can detect the data; you only pay for it if you want to save the data. &nbsp;If the software can't detect the files, you will have to send the drive to a data recovery company, which is not cheap. &nbsp;I would recommend <a href="http://www.gillware.com" rel="ugc">www.gillware.com</a>&nbsp;in this case.

I have a hard drive that crashed and I need to get data off the drive.  Please see the attached pdf for all the details.

Need to access data on crashed hard drive

Hardware includes cell phones and other digital living devices, tablets, computers, servers, peripherals and components, printers and scanners, gaming consoles, networking hardware such as routers, hubs, switches and modems, storage devices and security equipment such as firewalls and other appliances.

Hardware

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.

Storage

Disaster Recovery is the planning for and creation of policies and procedures related to the resumption or continuation of an organization's functions following a catastrophic event. The term is most frequently used in relation to failure of networks, but DR preparations also include other business systems and personnel considerations.
