    You know I like …
    You know I like this video, don’t get why people have voted it one star. I thought it was very well presented and explained. As an IT professional I thought it was very good. 5 stars from me. Wouldn’t have chosen that getdataback though.

  2. If you connected …
    If you connected everything correctly, and your drive doesn’t spin up, the hard drive is physically damaged. If it’s under warranty, get a new one. Data recovery will be quite expensive. I’m sorry.

    …you were reading a script, were you not?
    Seems quite obvious to me…

    Cuts in the video were sloppy…..but the info given was still good and useful.

  6. Well, there is …
    Well, there is nothing wrong in trying. if you able to retrieve your files in a failed hard without using the restore software, that only means that the drive isn’t failed yet. It’s just like using your drive as an external drive.

  7. I understand that …
    I understand that there is a failed hard drive. I take the failed hard drive and place it into portable hard drive enclosure, I connect the enclosure to the USB conection of a known working computer. Shouldn’t I be able to browse the damaged drive from the good computer and view its contents via Explorer?

  8. the hard drive …
    the hard drive failed that is why a restore software is needed.

  9. Why is the restore …
    Why is the restore software needed? If I have the hardrive enclosure wouldn’t I be able to access the drive via Windows Explorer and navigate to the files I want to restore and drag and drop them to a restore location – C: drive?

    Say brother do the tools needed like the 2.5 disk hard drive enclosure vary according to laptop I have a HP Pavillion dv5000 would the same one enclosure work with this also?? Also where do you recommend me getting these items from? What is the name of the name of the one you have or the cheapest and best one to use??

    I think it will be good idea to: before a pc user try to recover data; They must first determine if the data is recoverable. One way to deternine is : if the working computer recognise the failed hdd by displaying the corresponding letter of the drive on the working computer. If the working computer don’t recognise the failed hdd through the usb connection chances are that data won’t be recoverable through this method.
    Thanks ! I’ll be looking foward to ur future videos.
