Hard Drive Data Recovery
My client experienced a hard drive failure in his desktop computer a few weeks ago. Since the drive was unresponsive to normal operations (trying to read it from a docking station where it was not recognized in any manner), it was sent to a well known data recovery service. They've had the drive for a few weeks and finally responded that "the drive has electrical malfunctions that’s causing it to drop out at 2% every time. We are trying different methods ." I thought that recovery services could work around any technical/physical issue to recover data. FYI, the computer was protected with an APC battery backup/surge protector.
i am interested in insight about the likelihood of being able to recover data from a drive with electrical problems and recommendations of data recovery services that might be prepared to deal with it.
Thanks in advance for your insight.

For anyone with hard drive recovery concerns, this is a good round-up of considerations and approaches. The good news is that On Track, the service selected by my client, did recover all the data on his hard drive after a few weeks of analysis. Needless to say, he is now a fan of cloud-based backup services!
I think firstly you need to try data recovery tool, try free one, Disk Drill or Recuva.
