It happens to the best of us and if it hasn't happened to you yet then it's inevitably going to happen in the future. Of course, I'm talking about a hard drive failure.
I'm going to give you a step-by-step guide on how to recover data that may just save your life (or at least that mid-term paper).
Click HERE to check it out!

For this demonstration I'm going to be using a hard drive I found in a scrapped computer at the dump, unfortunately tested yet none of my motherboards will recognize it.
Who knows what mysterious secrets could be kept on this disk?
Stay tuned to find out.
>>
>>57131672
you could probably fit the contents of that onto a mini-cd

For those who want to try it for themselves I've listed the requirements here:
1) Any windows distribuion after windows 7 that's capable of reading disks. I'm using windows 7 myself.
2) A computer. For this test I'm using my server
3) A screwdriver kit with screw fittings that fit the screws in your own hard drive.

Step one is to undo the screws on the outer case. Usually there will be 4-6 screws on the edge on some models there will be 2-3 screws on the top of the case, hidden underneath stickers.
Protip: You can use your nail to rub across the stickers and find the indentation of the screw heads, from there you can simple undo them.
After this is done you'll want to open up the case.
>>
>>57131767
The next step is to take out these screws that secure the disk itself into the hard drive.
Protip: Sometimes the inner screws are different to the outer screws which means a large variety of screwhead attachments for your screwdriver will be necessary if you are unsure of the model you will be working on.
>>

After this you simply pull the disk out.
Don't worry about any scuffs or scratches, contrary to popular belief, the disks inside your hard drive are quite resilient

Next step is to open the optical drive on your computer and simply insert it into the tray.
>>
>>57131849
A perfect fit!
>>
>>57131871
Close the tray and wait for the computer to recognize the disk

Now navigate to the directory on your computer where the disk files are.
Notice how the operating system refers to the disk as a disc now that it has been inserted into the optical drive.
Looks like this cd was used to dual boot 2 operating systems

It's time to reset the disk back into its original casing and move on to step 2 of your master plan

You are doing Gods work OP

>>57131991
For this you're going to need:
>The hard drive
>A jar of petroleum jelly
>A small explosive device

I didn't expected to laugh, but i did.
Thanks for cheering me up OP.

Remove the disk from the bedding and you will see multiple cables running to the rotor of the hard drive. Take your wire cutters and snip these cables as close to the rotor as possible.
>>
>>57132060
Now you'll want to create a circuit with the wires by attaching them to either end of the detonation charge of your explosive device

Of course, the jelly will come next. This is the star of the show as it will spread out upon detonation of the explosive, liquefy and continue to burn on whatever surface it sits on.
Feel free to really lather it up.

Most people got things to do than maintain personal hygiene. Like, compile Gentoo.

Now the trick here is to screw the upper casing on enough to be firm but you want it to be able to give way.
Protip: Screw the upper plate on tight and leave it overnight. The next morning you can gently undo the screws and the casing will feel firmly pressed together but still be vulnerable to opening after ignition.
>>
>>57132160
Equally as important as the ingredients is the bait. Make sure you learn your target and give them an incentive to use your hard drive.
Protip: Take an online course in psychology

poor hdd, just too old to handle installing the nvidia drivers

Oh, OP. I thought for a second that you have a real way.
Once I connected the wrong power plug into my extern HDD and ist stopped working from then. The data is still there but I can't access it. Who do I get my data back without paying hundreds Euroshekelz?
