hard drive data
3.5 inch SATA normal harddisk if it gets sound , how to recover data ?
harddrive is not detecting by connecting as second drive
is it possible to take data by opening physically by replacing board or anything ?
You can't do it without a professional recovery company. No piece of software will help if there is a head crash or mechanical failure is involved.
The only option you have is if that isn't the case, then GetDataback is the best tool available. but you still have to get the PC to recognize the disk. If it can't get recognized, nothing you can do yourself will help.
Gillware is a company that is probably the best, you can send them the disk for a quote, they will then check it's state & tell you what chances of recovery you have & what it would cost, & then you can decide whether you want to pay for the recovery or not:
But this company is based in the US, & I don't know how easy it is to mail such a disk between India & the US, & also that would cost.
Just seconding rindi's comments.
If it's not seen in the BIOS or Windows then there's no software that can access it. Opening the drive up and repairing the board is a No-No unless you are one of the big data recovery operators. They have all the tools and the knowledge. You could replace the board 10 years or so ago but not now -- there are too many board variations to try and do this and you'd damage the drive in the attempt.
The big data recovery operators will take your drive and try and recover your data. If they succeed they will charge you. If they don't succeed then no charge. And yes they do charge if they succeed (I'm just going down this way myself). They stated what their fee would be if they were successful so I know/knew what I was in for.
If you have a similar drive and you do not care whether you loose both as an exercuse.
Your options are a professional recovery.
what disk model are you talking about?
around 2000, you could replace the logic board of a HDD, but not with modern drives
He is talking about SATA. SATA is a pretty new technology, & for those disks you were never able to change the logic board. Besides, the board is matched to the disk (as has already been mentioned earlier), so it will always fail.
No I don't agree. Those are SMD chips & unless you have done a lot of soldering & have the right equipment, it isn't easy to swap. I have done a lot of soldering myself & know what I'm talking about in those regards. For example, just the process of unsoldering the good chip can get it damaged due to excessive heat from the soldering iron if it takes too long.
rindi - i asked about the disk model - he said it's sata, so i know that
I'm not sure it was clear enough, but absolutely DO NOT open the drive or in any way expose the platters to the air. Your data is stored on disk platters that are like a super fine magnetic tape coating on a high precision metal disk manufactured to be perfectly flat and perfectly smooth -- like a mirror surface. Its assembled in a clean room so not to allow any dust/particles to get inside the drive.
Operationally the disk typically spins about 7000 rpm creating an air flow out from the center. Then tiny aerodynamic read/write heads extend into the platter riding on the air cushion just microns above the magnetic surface of the spinning platter. The smallest particle inside the drive can seem to the heads like an iceberg to the titanic -- Causing a head crash.

without professional recovery company , how to do ? like opening and repairing like circuitboard or replacing plates or similar ?
does any software can identify if it is not detecting , like any dos program ?
