So we’re gonna fire up our studio here and oh that’s interesting our computer houston data recovery is completely frozen up one of these partitions has shown up but this one’s just not populated. here’s a little Windows hack that you might be able to use to get access to a drive like. this all you need to do is start up the command prompt as an administrator start up Windows is built-in partition tool oh I got a right the computer’s completely locked up.
I got a power down this Drive first there we go now ever thing seen. how everything comes back then we just need to run a couple of commands auto mount disabled and auto mount scrub with our tweak what’s gonna happen. here is that Windows isn’t going to try to load a drive letter and that’s actually a good thing because it can hang the entire operating system.
While Windows tries to mount the file system and it will try and then timeout in the know. it’ll restart and do it forever doing more damage to what is already a damaged drive in the first place so now that we’ve done this we can open up Disk Management and boom. there it is there’s our gig drive and we can actually launch our our Studio software now because the system isn’t completely locked up in cases.
Where the drive doesn’t have a ton of bad sectors we actually can attempt a recovery. that’s looking for oh this is taking longer than it should so this is the point. where as a Orlando Data Recovery technician your gut feeling should be to stop what you’re doing because we’re only percent of the way through and this drive has many bad sectors which are taking anywhere from one to three minutes to detect each time.
So we’re gonna switch over to the rapid bar and about that method so all we’re gonna do is plug our drive in here go ahead and power it up and then there are a couple of things. that might make us think that this the Rapids bar is going to work better than a standard computer for one thing. if it encounters a bad sector instead of Aria tempting Andrea tempting wearing out the drive. it will actually cut off its reattempt after a couple of hundred milliseconds this dramatically reduces the stress on the drive for another.
Here we select the brand and the interface and what it’s doing is it’s actually taking information about the behavior of our drive. as it scans it and it’s uploading it to deep spar servers. where it compares it against the database their server then sends our rapid bar some recommendations for how to deal with it to help accelerate the recovery pretty cool right so we can double click partition one here and boom we’re running a scan so you can see here we already hit one of those bad sectors.
Instead of trying for two minutes , it’s only gonna try for a couple of seconds before it moves on now. we’re never gonna get back any that was on those sectors but at least we can get back whatever is on either side so check this out. we didn’t get everything you can see there’s some corrupted stuff here but even though. this drive had hundreds of bad sectors instead of taking two minutes every time.
