Hi, trying to figure out what type and where to buy a power supply to power
ReplyDeleteup my HDD for data recovery. Any idea what the power connector type should
be on a Western Digital WD10EACS external HDD. its appears to be oblong
with 8 pins? Thanks
My drive is still spinning, but my computer can't find it anymore. The
ReplyDeletedrive does make a very annoying screeching sound. Do you have any idea's?
Reelflowtv ~ I searched Amazon.. do you think the Vantec CB-ISATAU2
ReplyDeleteSATA/IDE to USB 2.0 Adapter Supports 2.5-Inch, 3.5-Inch, 5.25-Inch Hard
Disk Drives (Black) would work to pull data off my hard drive?
Hi, thanks so much--I will try this and hopefully will save me a few
ReplyDeletehundred bucks to get my data back. I'd just like to clarify from your
description: for those from US, you list three different products, which
apparently all do the same thing. Are you just presenting a variety of
products to choose from, or would there be a case where one might need any
combination of them? Are you from the US? Could I order the same product
you have from the UK and have it work fine here in the US? Thanks!
Sorry dude and thanks.
ReplyDeleteMy computer recognize that the drive is in the USB port but wants to format

I have a WB 1000 gigs external hard drive that will not read. It's funny
ReplyDeletebecause it shows the amount of gigs used but will not load my info. I tried
to take it to Best Buy to retrieve everything into that external hard drive
into another new hard drive I bought and they were charging me $500!!!! I
have so much pics, memories of my family and my kids when they were small.
Can you please give me the link to where you got the universal driver
adapter? I really don't want to pay $500!
So i have all my files in my hard drive then i want to add files from my
ReplyDeletemacbook to the hard drive. When i plugged in the hard drive it asked if im
gonna use the hard drive as a back up for the macbook? then it says it
would delete first everything in my hard drive. i clicked OK because i
thought the files would reappear after the said process. but NO all my
files before the back up process were all deleted. i keep DEEP SCANNING it
using Disk drill but i couldnt see my files. HEEEELPP! :(((
do you think this would work on a drive from a mac g3 600 mghrz from 2002 ??
ReplyDeleteI'm having a similar issue with a 3TB external Western Digital HDD. Using
ReplyDeletethe same hardware would I be able to do the same operation that you did in
this video?
why didn't you just use hard drive enclosure
ReplyDeleteHello I have a problem where the drive is showing the wrong size for any
ReplyDeleterecovery software rather then showing its real size it should be set for
which is 750GB what can i do to get the drive set back to the correct size
? Mind you this is the drive showing the wrong size no matter what i try to
do. :( I tried windows but it will not let me set anything and all recovery
says it cannot recover and partition or information if the drive is showing
the incorrect size.
nice upload Dude:)
ReplyDeletemy hard drive is starting to click. :-(. Gonna have to get a new one. No
ReplyDeleteneed for data recovery. I haven't got any porn or music I can't
re-download. haha. Any good ideas on how to totally destroy it after it
completely fucks up? I was thinking making a tiny ANFO bomb to blow it up,
but then I decided I'd probably go to jail for that. Any ideas?
i took the harddrive out of my mom laptop when it was on hibernate.. and i
ReplyDeletedidnt noe. and when i put it bak in it came up to the screen that says
"Resuming Windows" and it wont resume it and it doesnt have the loading bar
ec3000, if you can still get the same message of "cant read data" because
ReplyDeleteof a possible damage to your HD C, try to see if you can boot up your pc in
safe mode. Once you are in safe mode, try to see if your pc recognizes your
HD C? If it does, shut down your pc and remove your HD C. Make a label for
it as HD D so you know it is the old one ...
Great!
ReplyDelete2 weeks!! ok it was maybe 5 months between each board and different chip
ReplyDeletebrands, now I understand its clear they have been made very different
inside I hope ill get more success with a good one.
when the laptop boots up wait for a few secs and push and hold down the
ReplyDeletepower button and let it turn off.Then power it on and it should ask you "Do
you want to delete hibernation files?" say yes and it should boot up!
Thank you very much Scott Multon for having the courtsey in posting this
ReplyDeletevery helpful informational video. I am going to watch all yours and hope to
God I can recover my data as I too am one of the hundreds of thousands of
foolish consumers out here who have been suckered by SeaGate and the other
manufacturers of these cheap pieces of equipment. so you are 100% correct
you either pay literally thousands of dollars or you back up a back up of
the back up you just backed up. What a racket huh?
so i can save stuff into my drive as long as i have room for it? we are
ReplyDeletegoing to use final cut pro, is a program about video (just in case you dont
know) i just want to make sure that im not going to have any trouble saving
stuff from final cut as long as i have room thats all. THANK YOU FOR YOUR
TIME ILL GIVE YOU A 5 STAR.

The circuit drive of my hard drive died T_T Never went through the trouble
ReplyDeleteto fix it myself, and never wanted to spend hundreds of dollars to get it
fixed.
Screech? Maybe the head scratching the platters?
ReplyDeleteI believe you can set up a working harddisk as primary and your original
ReplyDelete"broken" one as secondary.... boot it off and it recovers by itself by
sharing the files from the *working* harddrive....thats what I did and it
worked:)
@emanoff22 Though viruses come in many variations, all are extremely bas
ReplyDeleteIm not sure what it was, but thats what im afraid of...... The first thing
ReplyDeletethat coes to mind is, how was that even possible. I thought Harddrives
create a air-cuschion when they spin-up for the heads to float on. What I
heard sounded like scratching smooth metal! help please.
whats the web page?? tnx
ReplyDeleteyour website is dead? whats the adress?
ReplyDeleteGood point, i'll take my Romanian AK 7.2 x 39 to the range and put a few
ReplyDeleterounds into that thing and see if I can still recover data with a Magnetic
Force Microscope.
