Data Recovery from 2 TB external HDD (looking for Thane based freelancer/Company)

[Futureized]

It's a 2 tb external drive. When connecting to laptop or PC.
Drive letter appears, but gives fatal error after clicking on same.

Tried connecting to laptop and PC same error. Dont have a seperate case/cable to test.
Kandivali based HDD recovery guy gave quote of appx 15000 to 20000 (after checking).

Can someone suggest data recovery in Thane (near Korum Mall)

Check if drive is spinning and gets detected in my computer if yes than following are your options
remove the case and its normal internal drive, connect it to a normal desktop and give it a try, use Linux os and there is a chance that you will be able to view it .


If no progress than buy 2tb drive or larger and put both of them in a same computer .Use a tool test disk

TestDisk Download

Download TestDisk & PhotoRec. TestDisk is a free and open source data recovery software tool designed to recover lost partition and unerase deleted files. PhotoRec is a file carver data recovery software tool.

www.cgsecurity.org

there go for the option of create image of your existing drive onto new drive .And it will create exact copy very slowly may take around one or two days minimum.

once done

you will have an image file of 2 tb on your new HDD

Use OSFMount to mount the image ,post mounting when you try to access that drive .A dialog box may Popup saying disk has some errors or something ,Run error check and it will fix it and you will be able to access the data .

i was in similar situation.

WD -3 tb hard Drive ,single partition

What was the Issue: Basically when i had bought it as new drive i felt something was it was 4-5 years ago maybe more than that .I had to paste a lot of data and i did .After a while it got one or two bad sectors and windows was able to fix it .i thought ok i will buy a new one and transfer the data mentally i had planned this for 2020 during covid times i am working from home and i will complete this task. But unfortunately that day never came for various reasons. And i suffered from "faulty psu" leading to random reboots /faulty board...
