Does anybody here know how to do data recovery, or can recommend an expert? My backup hard drive is no longer being recognized by my PC. I even took it out of the enclosure and hooked it directly to another PC. It worked for a while, but then couldn't be recognized again. It's not making any strange noises. Ideas?
Thanks,
Troy

I think you got answers on facebook. The freezer trick might work but otherwise you're looking at Kroll Ontrack or another recovery place. Usually they are a couple of hundred bucks too...
The freezer trick seems weird. Won't moisture damage the drive once it starts heating up? I guess I could try it..
It helps in some cases but the moisture doesn't get inside the sealed case I don't think and if it does, that's why you get one shot at it.
Is the drive making noise?
Freezer for 3 hours, and I was able to get the drive through a long process of checkdisk, and now seems to be all good. Drive never made any strange noises.
Back it up, and don't trust it IMO... Do you have S.M.A.R.T enabled in the BIOS? That will help to alert you if a failure is on the way..
