Hey! new to any form of data recovery, have a unique situation and was hoping for some advice lol!

My girlfriends 2020 MacBook pro died recently and needed a new logic board, on the MacBook the hard drive is soldered to the board with just the NAND chips, and repair also means loss of all files and all her beloved, years old game save files. I imagine paying for data recovery is a rather expensive cost and not worth it for some game files and was thinking if the laptop (that isn't getting repaired) is dead anyway, I might as well try and recover it myself, if it goes wrong it goes wrong kind of thing.

MY thought process and question is would I be able to buy some form of NVME board, install the NAND chips onto the board and buy a casing to turn the NVME to a portable drive and recover files that way?

Hello all

I recently had two old hard drives (both 1TB WD blacks from 2013 but different model numbers) die due to an unfortunate power surge, leaving the boards on both completely dead. I was advised that I would be able to recover the data on them via finding an identical drive for each and swapping over the PCBs to my now dead drives. However I was hoping to find some guidance on the technicalities here.

My questions include:

1. Do you truly only need to do a simple swap of the PCB? I saw some discussion that you would need to be able to solder the ROM chip from the patient PCB to the donor PCB in order for this process to work which seems a bit out of my skillset.
2. What exactly needs to match between the patient and donor drives? I have found drives with matching model numbers that differ in other areas such as the DCM, and have also found websites offering PCBs matching the number printed on my drive's PCB. Would it be enough to simply get a matching PCB, or do several factors have to match to be successful?

For reference, these are the two drives in question with what I believe to be the relevant information.

Drive 1: MDL (WD1003FZEX-00MK2A0), DCM (DHRNNT2CH), Date (20 Dec 2013), r/N (771829), PCB # (2061-771829-004)

Drive 2: MDL (WD1002FAEX-00Z3A0), DCM (HANNHT2AHB), Date (12 FEB 2013), r/N (771640), PCB # (2060-771640-003)

Thank you for any advice you can offer.

I got this camera like 20 years ago and filmed a bunch of stuff, and now I want to upload it all to the cloud.

Back in the day, I would just plug it in via USB, rewind the tape to the part I wanted, open Windows Movie Maker and play it back, and it would capture into a file. Now, when I plug it into my mac (through a series of firewire adapters) or my friend's PC (with USB), nothing happens. I assume something is not supported anymore by modern operating systems, and now I'm wondering what to do next. I'm willing to buy an old PC if I have to, because there's a lot of footage.

Just looking for next steps.

Had a scare a week ago when my 2-week old laptop suddenly BSOD and couldn't boot Windows anymore. Repair was impossible, and Data Recovery on the drive was tricky due to Bitlocker, which I didn't know was turned on by default. I got lucky and the drive did not require a key with UFS, but it did mean not all recovery software could work with it.

Take preventive measures. If the device stays at home and you aren't concerned with theft, turn off Device Encryption. And of course, make a backup. I have Macrium Reflect ready to go once this is done.

Thanks to those who helped me in the other thread.

I have a wd3200ks hdd drive from around 2006-2007. The drive was reformatted in 2010 and has sat unused since 2011. I was able to boot the drive today with zero issues.

What are the odds that I would be able to recover any of the data from the hdd prior to it being reformatted?

Hey everyone, I accidentally deleted a photo from my Downloads folder on my MacBook and then cleared the Trash a few weeks ago. Is there any way to recover it, or is it gone for good? I haven’t backed it up anywhere, so I’m hoping there’s still a chance. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Disk Model: Seagate 1TB

I backed up most of my important data on this HDD and needed to copy more files from a Mac.

Since the drive was formatted as NTFS, I installed Paragon NTFS to enable writing on macOS. After following the setup steps, I was able to read and write to the disk.

I started transferring files from the Mac to the HDD, but midway through, the Mac became completely unresponsive—the cursor turned into the rainbow spinner, and nothing was responding. After waiting with no improvement, I unplugged the drive and restarted the Mac.

When I reconnected the HDD, it was no longer detected and started making a continuous beeping noise.

I tried it on a friend’s Windows PC—same issue: not detected, and still beeping. He suggested the cable might be faulty, so I bought a new one, but that didn’t help.

I then took it to a technician, who encountered the same problem and quoted me €200 for data recovery plus a new HDD.

I can’t afford that right now. Is there any way I can recover the data myself without making things worse? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have both, mac and the windows pc with me.

I have a RAID 1 ZFS pool, and my friend suspects that the first 8MB of the disk may have been cleared. Because of this, the RAID cannot find the datasets, even though we can see that data exists on the disk—it’s just not accessible.

When I run zpool import, I get:

I have also tried forcing the import and have run all possible zpool import commands, but nothing works.

When I try to run: sudo zdb -l /dev/sdb2 I get the following errors:

failed to unpack label 0
failed to unpack label 1
failed to unpack label 2
failed to unpack label 3```
How can I recover or manually reconstruct my ZFS pool if the metadata has been wiped but the data is still there?

TL;DR What do I do next after I've made a .dd file and need to recreate a boot drive?

I'm not a pro (not even an amateur), just someone who likes (to a certain degree) diy. I barely made it this far. Go ahead and eli5 (not very familiar with Linux)....I definitely won't feel patronized.

Steps and details far:

• Initial problem, I have 2TB 980 Pro boot SSD that stopped booting and went mostly read-only. I say mostly because it doesn't explicitly say read-only. Yes, I've become retroactively aware of the firmware issue with this model. Something something about the controller not being able to reallocate bad sectors....I don't recall the exact verbiage from chkdsk.

• The drive had the 3 typical partitions: boot, recovery, and data. While the data partition was ~1.8TB in size, it was only filled with ~300GB of data. Macrium seemed to offer the ability to clone and resize to a smaller ssd (didn't have a spare 2TB ssd) in the same utility. The goal was to clone the boot drive and get back up and running as close to where I left off as possible. After a couple of failed attempts to clone the drive via Macrium and repairing via chkdsk. I have since learned, what I did was bad practice.

• I made the recommended Live CD and used a usb to boot up xubuntu to run HDDSC. Kept default settings. I ran this, making an image file into a directory on a 12TB HDD that I available for external storage. After it reached 99.993% completion and was it the scraping phase (completion eta 2 more days), I read on this sub that 99.99% is often good enough. If I'm reading it right, it has identified 40MB worth of bad sectors and 70MB un-scraped.

• I used hddscviewer to see what my drive looked like, but other than being a visual person, I didn't really know what to do with that info. Cool to see though. With HDDSC, I exported a ddrescue log file, after which I used ddru_ntfsfindbad to make a list of the actually file name and paths of those files located withing bad sectors. Does this list also incorporate files in the unscraped sectors? I imagine not. Is there a way to identify files within the un-scraped sectors as well?

• I then used dmde to scan the .dd image...but honestly, I don't know what this does. I was able recover some files from the list I generated, but I ran into windows credentials issues when I was trying to open certain files on another computer. For this reason, and just being able to pick up where I left off, I'd really like to be able to boot up with the what I've cloned.

At the end of the day, I'd like to use this .dd image to recreate a boot drive onto a 500 GB SSD. While the image is large, the total actual data including the boot and recovery partitions is 150GB less than the capacity of the target SSD. I don't have much excess cash at the moment to buy another 2TB drive to rebuild identically. But if it's the only option, I'll have to find a way. If getting a new 2TB drive is my only option, can someone eli5 for me the next steps?

I have an old IDE/PATA hard drive from around 2003, last time I tried to power it on, platters had an audible grinding sound. I immediately powered/disconnected it.

What are some methods/tools that I can use to quickly take an image of the hard drive to recover as much data from it as possible before the platters finally give out?

For the physical connection I have a IDE/PATA to USB adapter but I also have an old PC with IDE/PATA interface that I can connect to if needbe.

I'm tech savvy so don't be afraid to throw out some obscure linux commandline only tools, I'll be able to figure out how to use it

I have a Micro SD with audio files. I connected it to my macbook using a card reader and an adapter, but the adapter disconnected unsafely and now the card seemed to be empty.

I tried using using a software named CardRecovery to get my files back but it didn't really work. Most discovered files were corrupted, around 10 were perfectly fine. is there any other way I can try recover the files? maybe through the computer itself?

I’m trying to determine whether it’s possible to recover feeding history beyond the 72-hour limit on a Kangaroo Joey Enteral Feeding Pump (made by AccuSystem, distributed by Cardinal Health). According to the manual, the device only stores the last 72 hours of data, and when I called the manufacturer’s tech support, they confirmed that there is no way to access anything beyond that.

A family member of mine who is 13 years old was found weighing only 30 lbs, and I need to gather feeding history from the pump to help prove what happened. ((She has since been hospitalized and placed in my custody— she is safe and getting healthier!)) I have two pumps, so one can be used for experimentation if needed.

Does anyone know if: 1. The pump stores additional data in internal memory that isn’t user-accessible? 2. There’s a way to extract deleted or overwritten data from the device? 3. A specific type of expert (e.g., biomedical engineer, embedded systems specialist, etc.) might be able to assist?

I know medical devices have proprietary firmware and possible security measures, but if there’s any chance that older data still exists somewhere in the system, it could be crucial evidence. Any insights or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

My younger brother just formatted his external hdd drive from apfs+ (or hfs) to exfat (Maybe not formatted but switched in Windows drives menu) because wanted to learn how things are working on Windows 🥲.

Probably all the data is on drive, but not recognizable anymore, because of different system.

Is there any soft that can restore it in Apple’s format? I have both Mac and Windows PC

You know how sometimes a computer can crash or Ai gets closed out without saving and when you turn it backup all unsaved files get brought back with [recovered].ai on them?

well basically computer crashed, got hit with the files not being able to read certain links so i had to replace them (what works and what doesn't is hard to decide so i always just spam click whatever random photo i have in my downloads and work back from there)

anyways the window size, is always small for somereaosn despite never being that size when i'm actually using it. i mini and maximize the window often so it's normal minimized size is like half the screen. but anyways when i click to replace the files, it shrinks again.

but this time when i clicked my random linked files to replace the lost ones it's shrunken to now be too small to open almost anything according to the popup, i had a ton of files open and i feared if i forced closed out, the recovered files would go with it since they weren't open yet (this is 2 or 3 problems in one, so if that wouldn't have happened, PLEASE let me know, so i can just ctrl alt delete out of there next time)

looked it up on how to fix online as the refusal to open due to minimized window had happened before long ago but never found a fix, the only fix was to just maximize or drag it open. something i couldn't do until i clicked away all the popups, the thin screen was black as well

so i just clicked ok as each popup was from a file it was trying to open. saying the only way for me to reopen it is to try again with a bigger window, which i couldn't since these were recovered unsaved files...

so once i just clicked ok for every sincle one, it opened with almost everything that should've been here gone.

and so we're here,

idk if it's possible to actually open whatever was initally recovered so i don't want to give up and close out just yet because then it'd reset to registering only what's open currently as what needs to be recovered

had a vaugely similar problem with a game on steam and realized i never considered where these unsaved basically autosaves came from. turned out it was a common issue with the game and basically jsut had to go through the games files on my computer, delete the current save and boot up from the last recovered one.

obviously games and Illustrator are different, but i was wondering the same thing of where and how illustrator's even getting those files from if i didn't save. and if there somewhere in the app or computer and was wondering if it's possible to try soemthing similar

am a data hoarder so there are non-recovered actually saved files of them already on my computer, just and i save and make progress slow enough that starting over wouldn't be starting completely "over" for me. i just wanna see if i can get the most recent one

i just want to know if its possible to actually get my shit back in case it IS to soon to prematurely quit. if there was a solution to ANY of these problems, i'd love to hear it.

I had a HDD in bad condition but its still got my data intact somewhat, some mess happened and it went RAW, I can recover files through DMDE right now but I have so much folders it would take a lot of time.

Is there anyway to restore (undeleted) folders from RAW partition?

Hard drive with years worth of pictures and work is not connecting to computer. No blinking or beeping. Just a light sound inside the hard drive. Can this be saved? 🥺

So I have a gaming PC setup with 3 internal SSD's and 1 internal HDD all SATA based.
My Windows 10 is installed on one of the internal SSD.
Today I turned on my PC and noticed it was not booting. I assumed it was windows issue and after lots of pain to get windows 10 installation bootable drive created, it was still not booting up.

So I finally decided to disconnect all drives except the main W10 drive and it booted up. Next I tried connecting rest 1 by 1 and finally found out that whenever I connected my internal HDD it was not booting up.

Surprisingly I did managed to boot up once with HDD connected but windows 10 was stuck with 100% disk usage and nothing was working and never managed to get it booted up.

So basically this confirmed my drive is not working as I tried with different cables too.

Now I need to know following

1. Is there way to recover data from this drive via some enclosure like SATA 3.5 Inch enclosure to USB drive without going the data recovery route? EDIT: I meant external data recovery route, as the local ones over here are not that good and not trustworthy.
2. I can't exactly remember all the files that were present in the drive, so does anyone know if there is any cache maintained for all the files and folders by windows 10?

I tried everything and now I want to at least Recover my Data, please help me😐

Hello! My mom has a Samsung Galaxy Note 8 that was dropped into water. I think she may have charged it shortly after, but the screen won't turn on and appears fried. The blue light on the front of the phone by the camera lights up, as well as the phone receiving notifications and calls as usual, just with a dead screen. It initially connected to my computer when I tried with a usb-c cable; however, now it doesn't. The phone just randomly vibrates and does not share any kind of data transfer, whether from phone to phone or computer to phone. I assume the graphics on the phone are fried and that the o, as even when I plugged it in with an adapter to a TV, the phone did not cast anything. I am trying to transmit the data to the other phone my mom got today. I think the phone may be boot-looping, but I do not know for sure. Any advice is appreciated. Thank you guys. Please feel free to ask any questions and I'll do my best to answer them.

Hello, Since yesterday, my 2TB Seagate HDD that is less than 2 years old is not loading up. It was initially connected to my pc, then when I tried to go into a folder to transfer some files, it was very slow to load. Afterwards, when I was transferring a video file out of the HDD, it transferred about a 3rd of it at normal speeds after which it dropped to 1-3 mbps and eventually 0. I waited for a while, then tried pausing and cancelling the transfer, but that was also stuck for a while, so I was forced to unplug the drive. After that, i tried rebooting PC, connected it again and this time in file explorer I just see the drive letter name without capacity and the loading animation, but it never loads and file explorer is frozen until I unplug the drive. I tried opening disk partition window, but it also won't load with the drive connected. It does show up in device manager, but that also crashes when I try to do anything with it.

I also downloaded Seatools app, but the same issue. It won't load my drives as long as this faulty HDD is plugged in, it only works if I unplug it. Any solutions? It's not that important of a drive. It mostly has old family memories and stuff but I am kinda angry how this one ran into issues because I bought it mainly to back up things from my then 7 year old Toshiba HDD, which ironically is still running fine even now...

hey all. i woke up one day to a folder of mine with a lot of my graphic design work (and other things, but mostly care about the psds/pngs) gone. i tried using recuva, but when i searched for some files i remembered the name of, they were already not very recoverable.

however, i realized using it that there is a shadow copy of the drive from a date where the folder would still be there.

im very new to data recovery (never heard of the term shadow copy till today), so i wanna ask: is there another program that would be better at being able to easily look through the shadow copy? thank you!

Hi everyone.

I’m posting on behalf of my cousin who has accidentally reformatted his SD card within the camera with incredibly sentimental photos on it. The files have been zeroed out.

He’s used: hex, Sandisk recover software, r-studio, Sony recover.

Info: Camera: Sony A7s3

Sd card: Sandisk Extreme Pro 256G 200MBs LDPC

He’s asked around at different camera shops and he’s been given the thumbs down on recovery. I’m hoping this sub can help troubleshoot.

*this is the first time i have tried to recover a drive

I recently recovered media from an SSD using Disk Drill V4.5 (have not paid 60 bucks for the upgrade to V5)

It seems to have recovered most of my media...

The problem is that all this media is linked to a video project file in the video editing software Davinci Resolve.

This program uses file names to relink the files from new locations.

When I recovered all of my media with Disk Drill, it gave them all a bunch of random names in a completely different files structure, the structure i suppose is not the problem really, its just the names.

Is there anyway to recover the file names or is this just something there is no work around too?

Any help would be wonderful.

Thank you!

I was trying to fix my laptop. When I went to disconnect the battery, a metal piece fell out, landed on the motherboard, and sparked and short circuited the whole thing, about an inch from the nvme SSD. After a few minutes of swearing, I noticed that the motherboard was getting hot, so I removed the battery and the SSD. The SSD only shows up, in both Windows and Linux, as an uninitialized drive. I tried a few recovery software trials, and they can't even identify the drive for recovery. Is it just toast?

If I connect the damaged drive via NVME straight to the motherboard, rather than through a USB thingy, could that make any difference to the software identifying it?

And, whether or not I recover any data, is the drive itself likely to be reliable if I format it? It's a good drive, (or at least it was) and I don't want to buy a new one if I don't have to.

Hoping to get some help here - I'm super not computer savvy and not really sure what I'm doing. My brother built himself a new PC and gifted his old one about a year ago and a half ago. The PC was automatically synced up to his account that he used when it was still his primary computer. I backed up a few years worth of photos onto the PC under his account. I realized today I should probably add my Microsoft account and transfer any files from him to myself, so I added my account to the PC without any issue.

When it came time to transfer the files, I went back into his account, chose the folder with all of my images selected "Give Access To > Specific People", chose my account from the drop down menu with Read/Write permission and hit Share. At this point, I switched over to my account and searched "Galaxy S9 Pictures" in the search bar which pulled up the File Explorer for his desktop where I was able to view the folder (I didn't look in the folder at this stage so I'm not sure if the issue had popped up yet). From here, I dragged the folder from File Explorer onto my desktop, at which point I realized that the folder and subfolders were there, but they were all empty.

After doing some troubleshooting with a friend of mine who works in IT, he recommended using R-Photo to see if we could recover any lost files. Once installed, we discovered all of the missing files, but whenever we attempt to recover any of them, the images are either corrupted or I get an error message saying that the file type (.jpg) isn't supported.

FWIW - I did try repeating the same process with a single image file later on and was successfully able to move it from my brother's account to my own. Really not sure where I went wrong since I followed the exact same process later on and had no issues. Maybe it was just the quantity of files I was trying to transfer over?

I'm not sure where to go from here - it looks like the files exist on my PC still, I'm just not sure how to get them back. Any advice that anyone is able to provide is greatly appreciated.

I recorded a long voice memo on my iPhone. I paused it and then it allows me to keep recording. Now the whole thing is gone. But iPhone doesn’t allow you to continue with a new recording if you don’t save the old one. So if unsaved, it waits for you to save it. It’s not like I deleted it accidentally. I made several tests and no fail. But my most important file now is nowhere to be found. I restrict the phone, etc. nothing helped. Any ideas? Would Dr. Fone help?

Hello,

I already searched on Google and YouTube but I only find information/tutorials on recovering deleted files.

My problem is simpler:

My old PC broke down, I could not turn it on anymore. So I collect my old hard drive that was in it.

Now, I want to connect this old hard drive to my new computer and access the data again. This way, I can save what I want before formatting it.

I am able to connect the hard drive, but obviously, Windows does not allow me to brows ont it like that. I am on the "Disk Management" tool but I do not know what to do now. I have used this tool before to format the disk, but never to NOT format the disk.

Do you know a tutorial that I can follow?
