Computer hard drive and the possibility of restoring it

You can prevent hard drive failure by regularly checking its operating condition. This way, you can detect incipient problems in advance and prevent loss of information and equipment failure. The first signs of a hard drive failure:

- slow loading of OS and programs;

- errors occur when copying and writing data;

- blue monitor screen;

- computer freezes during testing;

- spontaneous shutdown and non-recognition of the hard drive;

- extraneous sounds and heating of the disk.

Causes of hard drive failure:

- physical or mechanical impacts on the hard drive, especially during its operation;

- the effect of electric current on the disk;

- untimely replacement of a worn-out device;

- improper operating conditions (temperature, air humidity);

- lack of uninterruptible power supply;

- possible manufacturing defect in the manufacture of the disc.

Not every hard drive can be restored. If the hard drive is damaged by mechanical force or makes a grinding or squeaking sound during operation, it is most likely impossible to restore it. If the damage caused is related to software, the probability of eliminating the damage is quite high.

To normalize the operation of the hard drive, it is better to use the services of professional programmers. For self-recovery, you need a special Victoria program in the DOS version. It can be downloaded to a USB flash drive with the possibility of subsequent installation.

This program will allow determine the status of the hard drive by scanning it for damaged, bad sectors. After identifying the problems, you need to start the device recovery mode. The error analysis process time depends on the disk size and the amount of damage.

If, after “reanimating” the hard drive, there are still damaged damaged sectors left on it, then its restoration is impossible. It is regular and timely diagnostics of the hard drive that will save you from problems. This way you can promptly avoid damage and destruction of important data. But even in this case, one hundred percent recovery is not always possible. Information may also not be stored in full. Therefore, it is better to avoid a complete failure of the hard drive.
