Oh Man, you are saviour. I had this Alienware m14x laptop and recently tried to boot, but failed, took it to computer repair professionals and they told me that SATA SSD is damaged and they insisted on replacing it with new one, but the main concern was if the data on it can somehow be recovered. I had a lot of collection from movies, games, photos and that is all Gold for me. I was losing hope until i saw your video which is very much informative and with complete demonstration. I was able to recover much of my old data using this technique. I don't know how to thank you for this :)

So I have a laptop that now displays the “boot device not found” error and makes a clicking/ticking sound. I tried the legacy booting trick, but that did nothing. Not 100% sure if the drive is bad, but do you think my files may be recoverable? Trying to decide if I should get a brand new laptop or just a new drive. Current laptop is 8 years old, but it’d cost less if I could fix it. No matter what, just hope I could get my files back. 🙏🏼

NEW DISCOVERED TIP FOR ME: *DON’T BACK UP YOUR DRIVE FIRST* 1. My drive is really slow with Disk Drill. 2. I first did the pull up lost Data on only Deep search - not All Methods Search. 3. When the drive got to the icon page (pictures, audio, video etc) it gradually went to a severe slow crawl speed. 4. I then clicked into each Icon and clicked on nearly every item to try to view not save. 5. The drive Search speed sped up 100X or more. 6. An hour later, I checked back and it was again at a crawl. 7. I repeated #4 several times. 8. When the Search was done, I individually downloaded and saved each item separately. It takes a long time, but it works. 9. I then backed up the entire drive Byte by Byte. *The idea was to “get the Data while you can” on a slow drive. The Byte By Byte backup may not work. So get the Data on the initial search as a rescue attempt. You can then try to back up the drive later, which I did on one drive, but the other one wouldn’t - so glad I got the data while I could. Hope this helps.

In this case, Disk Drill will not be able to scan the drive. Run a disk check using Windows' built-in tools (File Explorer or Command Prompt with chkdsk /f /r). Ensure your hard drive drivers are up to date via Device Manager. Backup your important data immediately to prevent loss. Check your BIOS settings for any irregularities and run any available hardware diagnostics. If the problem persists, consider replacing the hard drive.

First, identify the drive type: 2.5" SSD, 3.5" HDD, or NVMe SSD. For 2.5" SSDs, a USB 3.0 or USB-C enclosure is ideal. For 3.5" HDDs, look for a USB 3.0 or USB-C case with active cooling. NVMe SSDs need specialized enclosures with USB-C or Thunderbolt. Consider the power source (bus-powered or external) and material (aluminum is better for cooling).

When hard drives are not being seen it is almost always a hardware issue. When it is not you can usually just initiate the disk or assign the drive a disk letter to get access to the files again. If the PC just won't boot, you can just boot from a live CD to get access to the files. So this software seems pretty useless or at least incredibly niche.

You'd need to remove the drive from your old laptop and connect it to the new one.

If your disk is detected by the system, you may try scanning it with the free version of Disk Drill to check which files can be recovered.

It was not clear from your video whether or not Disk Drill will recover my Directory Structure or not. Please address this!
@cleverfiles11 ай бұрын
File names and folder structure are very intricate metadata that quite often can't be recovered. To increase the recovery chances make sure to run the scan on the whole drive by clicking Search for lost data on the whole drive (not just volume or partition) without interruptions, locating the files in question, and previewing them to verify the content. Disk Drill PRO will recover the files that can be correctly previewed in Disk Drill Basic. If you only run Deep Scan, the metadata is lost.

Any fix?? (edit) i have'nt heard any "bad" ticking or noises

If your computer does not detect this drive at all, software recovery won't help you, you need to take it to a repair shop. If you can see the drive in your Disk Utility/ Disk Management, but it won't show up in Disk Drill, please contact us at help@cleverfiles.com.

What if the crash on the old drive was caused by a virus? Will connecting the drive to a bootable computer transfer the virus?
@cleverfiles6 ай бұрын
If the crash on the old drive was caused by a virus, there is a potential risk of transferring the virus to the bootable computer when connecting the drive. To mitigate this risk, you should take precautions: use antivirus, isolate the drive, disable autorun, carefully examine files, backup important data etc.

No good for me. My pc was hanging, not closing down or booting properly. I discovered it was my 4tb mechanical sata hard drive. I have 2 x 2tb nvme drives so it didn't affect my system by removing this drive, other than to stop it hanging of course. I also own a usb 3.0 hdd docking station. When I insert my drive, into the docking station I can hear it spin up and feel a vibration, the pc also gives the same sound as when I attach any usb device. My problem is it doesn't show up on my computer and disk drill doesn't pick it up either. This drive was used as the main back up for my photographs....I also had them backed up elsewhere but there's about a years worth missing and it doesn't look like I'll be able to recover them....more's the pity....
