    Fantastic. Found this a couple of days ago. I have a disk that started faulting a few years ago and I put it aside and occasionally tried it but it finally failed last time I tried a few weeks ago. Today I tried this and now I have a full disk image to work on for recovery.

    WOW! That first step worked like a charm. I didn't even have to clean it. I just blew on it and reattached it and it worked. Thank you! I should probably Backup my Files to a different HDD, right?

      Also, System File Checker is a utility in Windows 10 that checks for problems with files on your computer. To run it, follow these steps:
      - In the search box on the taskbar, type Command Prompt, and right-click or press and hold Command Prompt (Desktop app) from the list of results. Select Run as administrator, and then select Yes.
      - Type DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth (note the space before each "/"), and then press Enter. (Note: This step may take a few minutes to start and up to 30 minutes to complete.)
      - After you see a message that says "The operation completed successfully," type sfc /scannow (note the space between "sfc" and "/") and press Enter.
      - After you see a message that says, "Verification 100% complete," type exit.

    Resp Sir! Very Nice Sir. Sir My Seagate One TB Hardisk One Only Spinning after Off and IC Very Heated Sir. Where the Problem Sir. Please Advise Sir. -- ChinnaRao Paderu Andhrapradesh

    • @HetmanRecovery
      @HetmanRecovery  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hello ChinnaRao Paderu from Andhra Pradesh,
      It sounds like your Seagate 1TB hard disk is experiencing some issues. The fact that it is only spinning after being turned off and the IC is getting very heated indicates a potential problem with the hard disk itself or the internal components.
      Here are a few possible reasons for the symptoms you described:
      Overheating: If the IC is getting very heated, it could be due to overheating of the hard disk. This can be caused by poor ventilation, a malfunctioning fan, or dust buildup inside the hard disk enclosure.
      Failing Components: The fact that the hard disk is only spinning after being turned off could indicate failing components within the hard disk. This could be related to the motor, the read/write heads, or other internal components.
      Power Supply Issues: It’s also possible that there are power supply issues causing the hard disk to behave erratically.
      Given the symptoms you described, it’s important to address the issue promptly to prevent further damage to the hard disk and potential data loss. I recommend contacting a professional data recovery service or a technician who specializes in hard disk repair to diagnose and fix the problem.
      If you suspect that there is data on the hard disk that you need to recover, you may also consider using data recovery software like Hetman Partition Recovery to attempt to recover your files before taking any further action.
      If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask. Thank you!

    Can someone plz help out when I turn on my system it stays stuck on bios screen for few seconds and right after desktop screen is loaded I am greeted with this error d/users is not available. I also get bsod with stop code: driver power state failure. Someone experienced this same issue, any help would be appreciated. Note I had installed windows 10 on my ssd in C drive and all other storage in D drive which is in my HDD. Some times issue has gone temporarily and PC works just fine but returns after some time. :(

    • @HetmanRecovery
      @HetmanRecovery  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It sounds like you're experiencing a couple of different issues with your system. Let's address them one by one:
      Stuck on BIOS screen for a few seconds: This could indicate a few potential issues. It might be related to your hardware configuration, BIOS settings, or even a faulty component. Here's what you can try:
      Check your BIOS settings to ensure that your SSD (C drive) is set as the primary boot device.
      Make sure all hardware connections are secure, especially cables connecting your drives.
      Try updating your BIOS firmware to the latest version if available.
      Check if there are any diagnostic tools available from your motherboard manufacturer to test hardware components for issues.
      Error "D:/Users is not available": This error suggests that there might be a problem with your D drive (HDD) or the partition where your user profiles are stored. Here are some steps to troubleshoot:
      Check the connections to your HDD and ensure it's properly recognized in Disk Management.
      Run a disk check on your D drive to look for any errors or bad sectors.
      If your D drive is failing, you may need to replace it or consider migrating your user profiles to another drive.
      Ensure that your user profiles are properly configured and pointing to the correct location on the D drive.
      BSOD with stop code: DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE: This is usually a driver-related issue that occurs when a driver enters an inconsistent power state. Here's what you can do:
      Update your device drivers, especially those related to power management (such as chipset, graphics card, and network drivers).
      Check for any recent driver updates or installations that might coincide with when the issue started occurring.
      Consider rolling back drivers to a previous version if you recently updated them and the issue started afterward.
      Run Windows Update to ensure that your system has all the latest patches and updates installed.

I tried moving it onto the disk and resetting it but its more of the same... disk spins, header just "clicks"and it just loops like that until I remove the power. I have also replaced the board :( (was my first try)... any videos on a similar issues? or replacing a header/fixing a header?

    • @HetmanRecovery
      @HetmanRecovery  ปีที่แล้ว

      It sounds like you're dealing with a mechanical issue with your hard drive's read/write head. The clicking sound you're hearing is often referred to as the "click of death," and it's a common indicator of a severe hardware problem.
      Attempting to repair or replace the read/write head of a hard drive is an extremely complex and delicate operation, and it's generally not recommended for most users. It requires a cleanroom environment and specialized tools, along with a high level of expertise. Mishandling the drive can lead to further damage or data loss.
      Before considering any DIY repair attempts, here are some general steps you can take to see if you can recover your data or at least diagnose the issue:
      Backup Data: If you haven't already, try to make a backup of your data if possible. There are data recovery services that specialize in recovering data from damaged drives. They may be able to help you in case you can't fix the drive yourself.
      Check Connections: Ensure that all cables and connections are secure. Sometimes loose or damaged cables can cause issues.
      Data Recovery Software: If you can, connect the drive to another computer and try using data recovery software to access your files. Software like TestDisk, Recuva, or EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard may be able to help.
      Professional Help: If the data on the drive is critical, consider seeking professional data recovery services. They have the necessary equipment and expertise to deal with physically damaged drives.
      Don't Open the Drive: Avoid opening the hard drive yourself, especially if you're not experienced in data recovery. Dust and particles in the air can easily damage the drive further.
      If you are still determined to try a DIY approach, I strongly recommend watching videos and tutorials on hard drive repair and head replacement. However, be aware that this is a highly risky endeavor and can lead to permanent data loss or further damage to the drive if not done correctly.
      In any case, it's essential to weigh the value of the data on the drive against the cost of professional recovery services and the risks of DIY repair. Data recovery is a specialized field, and professionals have the best chance of recovering your data safely.

      Defragment your disk. Disk defragmentation is an unavoidable process when you actively use your computer. This is the reason why programs and games can be slow, so it is recommended that you defragment regularly to optimize your hard drive and increase the performance of your entire system. Defragmentation can also be performed using standard Windows tools:
