External hard drive data recovery

i m unable to recover the data stored on my WD external hard disk. it says the data cannot be recovered due to i/o error. can u pls help me?

I/O Errors can be cause by a few different issues with the drive. More than likely you have an issue with the drive heads, Pre-Amp, or PCB. I would take the drive into a Professional Data Recovery Firm like www.24hourdata.com They will offer a Free Quote & a No Data, No Charge policy.

highly recommend Rapid Data Recovery for affordability. My pen drive recovery was cheap, much less than other companies’ quotes.

For a lower cost recovery service visit Rapid Data Recovery’s website - (www.rapid-data.net). They are way cheaper than anyone else, and my hard drive recovery experience was good.

You can try and take a sector by sector clone image of your failing dive onto another good working drive. Basicly this copies all of the readable sectors to the good drive. The free version of HDClone can do this skipping over any unreadable sectors.

Once you have the image you can use data recovery tools against the image to save your data.

do what Alfredajohnson said,

I want to share my recent experience of recovering data from a failed WD 2T drive which I used as a secondary drive to store photos, videos and music. The drive was only 7 months old when it reported CRC error whenever I copied files into it. Things deteriorated very quickly to the extend it was not shown in Window Explorer (XP) at boot up. I ran WD Lifeguard diagnostic software and it failed SMART. Other tests could not continue because of "too many bad sectors". I took the disk out and connect it via USB with an adaptor running as an external drive. I have to manually reactivate the drive from Disk Manager after boot up to get it shown in Window Explorer. Somehow, I was lucky, the MFT was intact and I was able to see the whole directory and file structure. However, whenever I tried copy any folder from this bad drive to another drive (either in Window Explorer or DOS via a DOS Window), I got either the CRC error message or I/O error message. I tried several data recovery software downloaded from the web. Some quit quickly with the message "files cannot be access because of I/O error". Some took forever scanning the disk without reporting any recoverable files. In desparation I tried copying individual file, one at a time to another disk and with some success. The copying process was slow, at times almost stalled, but in most cases did come through. Occationly, after a long long copying, it aborted with the CRC error message. I was looking for some software that could ignore the CRC error during copying. I figured I'll at least get a partial file. In fact for the big video files, a bit of corruption will not render it unwatchable. Finally in the web, someone mentioned XCOPY /C. The /C option tells DOS continue copying when errors are encountered. That did the trick. For those files reporting CRC errors, I would open a Window DOS box and copy it over with XCOPY /C. It was a tedious process but it worked. After 2 full days of individual file copying, I was able to recover most of the 800G of data. A few files were stubornly unaccessible causing XP freezing up for a few minutes whenever copy attempts were made. I gave up on those. Hope my experience can be of help to those struggling with data recovery. BTW, I learned my lesson and am backing up my data,

PS. I played those files with reported CRC error and couldn't sport any corruptions.

Yes there are lots of recovery software availavable for external hard drive data recovery. You can search in Google to get a good one.

You can recover the data of an HDD to know more check out the link.
