HARD DISK RECOVERY/ FAULTY - campo21 - 03-01-2020
I have 3 hard disk all not responding. You hear the clicking sounds when you connect it.
I have most of my important stuff on there. How can I be able to recover my files.
Is there any software than can help.

It's quite powerful In recovering data, and Includes tools such as PhotoRec, TestDisk, GParted and many more. Ultimate Boot CD, Is also worthy of Its purpose.

Because the HDD is likely failing, I'd avoid using it as much as possible. Looking into HDD USB Enclosures. You just throw your drive in, then plug it into a USB. From there you'll be able to browse the HDD like any other external storage.
I haven't used the software @mothered referred to, but it's probably similar to Macrium. Macrium has a free version that works very well for imaging. From there I'd just load it into a VM and move things accordingly.
I'd go with the enclosure first though. It's a useful piece of hardware to keep around and it worked for me when my HDD failed a few months ago. If you can't get your drive to load, try throwing it in the freezer for 15-30mins or so and try again.

When you get a moment (no rush), please reply whether the above tools served your needs.

Though (If the HDD Is corrupted), you'd have to be quick to grab the data.

I also recently restored important files from my PC. Your advice helped me. I also used a good program that helped me. This is Uneraser. I restored all the important files from my hdd.
