Also should i clone ( ) the drive first, before i start using unstoppable copier to copy?ģ. Should I boot from usb from a linux system?Ģ. On the Testdisk website it says ´ If it doesn't work or if the hard disk is seriously damaged, it's usually better to clone the hard disk first.´ als it says ´Windows may have some problems in dealing with bad sectors on a damaged hard disk, so the best solution is to use a Linux OS to copy data to another hard disk.´. Only the usb 2.0 port could recognize it. Today the HDD wasnt recognized by 2 of the 3 USB 3.0 ports. Then i could still see the folder and acces everything except a big file and was extremely slow at copying. Thank you guys so much for replying to me. The easiest way to get to the command prompt is to crash windows 4 or more times by powering off completely then if possible it will boot to a recovery screen with the option of advanced options where you can select command prompt. If it is Bios locked then you will need to copy the data off from the windows command prompt with the drive in the laptop. Hdsentinel will tell you if the drive is bios locked (which i suspect it is) so would still be worth checking. If so then removing the drive and connecting it to another computer won't work.
#IS DISK GENIUS OR TESTDISK BETTER PASSWORD#
Is this before the laptop starts to boot you need the password ? When you said " Endless loop of asking for permission and me entering password and giving permission." Please post the resultsĪt this stage you need to only be accessing the drive for as short a time as possible, minutes only.

In windows you can use HDsentinelĭepending on the health of the drive will depend how to continue. Make sure you have some way of diagnosing the health of the drive Linux has a program called smartmontools.
When a laptop hard drive stops booting you need to work on a plan and get everything you need available before doing anything else.ġ/ Somewhere to store your data a 1TB USB drive is a good start.Ģ/ Some other way to boot the Laptop like a linux pen drive or data recovery pen drive.ģ/ You could also attach the drive to another computer either with a USB to hard drive adapter or direct.
