Phreaknic13 Conference Oct 31st 2009. This is a speech on Data Recovery Diagnostics. This is taking a step back from my other talks and trying to explain what happens and when you can fix it or not. This provides descriptions of damaged hard drives and how to know what is wrong with them the best that can be explained in an hour. I talk about Seagate Hard Drives, Western Digital Drives, and IBM Travelstar or Hitachi Drives as well as laptop drives. This is part of what I teach in my classes. if you want to know more about the classes see myharddrivedied website or search for my name and SANS.

PS: Sorry about the video quality, its not my fault. This is actually what the conference recorded.

  • If it was a virus that wiped my HDD, is there software available to recover my data? I don't think I'm having HDD problems, no bad sounds or smells, but, IMHO, seems to be the result of a wipe disk (a reformat?) I was awaiting receipt of a IDE adapter to hardwire a 3.5 HDD as an external device to backup everything; the problem happened while my adapter cable was enroute from ebay ;-( I hope you can give me some inexpensive/free suggestions.

    Thanks so much for all the great info.

  • While watching a movie online on my Dell Latitude x200 laptop, the next thing I knew my Windows xp, sp 2, running on a 30G IBM HDD model # IC25N030ATCS04-0 suddenly stopped. On reboot I got an HD error msg, then HD failure msgs. Got a new HD, loaded Ubuntu 9.04, slaved my original HDD and get 0 info on a 0 G HDD. What can I do next to attempt to recover my data, esp. photos/vid of the trip road trip with my brother who just died in December. HELP please!!!

  • i can you tell me what i would need to start Recovering Data  from any harddrive like what sort of tools IDE & SATA 2.5 or 2.5
