Data loss can be devastating, especially when you lose important data from your hard drive. When you experience a drive not showing or a not detected issue, you need to take immediate action to retrieve your valuable data. That is where PITS Global Data Recovery Services comes in. Our team of experienced engineers specializes in recovering data from Western Digital hard drives and other storage devices.
Start of WD Internal Drive Recovery
One of our clients, a small business owner, recently experienced data loss on his WD internal hard drive. He called our customer service team, and we provided him with a detailed explanation of our data recovery process, including the options for shipping his device to our lab. After discussing his options, the client sent his WD internal hard drive to our facility for evaluation and recovery.
Evaluation Process
As soon as we received the not recognized device, we performed an evaluation to determine the extent of the damage and the most efficient recovery strategy. Our engineers carefully inspected the drive, and we estimated that the drive was not showing up in Windows, even in the device manager. We also found that the device was not recognized when connected through a SATA cable or a USB port.
To determine the root cause of the problem, we examined the drive in disk management, where we found that it had unallocated space. This indicated that the media had suffered a logical failure, a common cause of data loss. Various factors, such as accidental deletion, virus attack, or file system corruption, can cause logical failure.
After identifying the problem, we provided the client with an extensive report on the state of his WD internal drive, including timing and pricing information. The client approved the quote, and we proceeded to recover the data from the Western Digital hard drive.
Our engineers selected the most efficient recovery strategy for the device, which involved repairing the file system and assigning a drive letter to the drive. To do this, we connected the hard drive to our recovery equipment and performed a deep scan to retrieve data from the Western Digital hard drive.
WD Internal Hard Drive Recovery Process
The recovery process for the not recognized internal hard drive involved several steps that were taken by our experienced engineers and technicians at PITS Global Data Recovery Services.
During the recovery process, we encountered some challenges due to the power cables not supplying enough power to the drive. We quickly resolved this issue by replacing the power cables and proceeding with the data recovery process.
