Prevention is better than cure. Your computer’s hard drive can fail without any notice. So you should backup all the important files on a regular basis. Restoring a hard drive is costly. So is the replacement. The cost could turn out to be aggravating in some cases. In most of the cases the recovery of data is, well… doable, especially if you know the ‘how to’. Data recovery, no matter how easy or costly it is, you got to admit that replacing work / memories isn’t the easiest job on earth.
There are many instances you find it all impossible. Don’t attempt any physical repair of the damaged drives unless or until you’ve got advanced knowledge in technical training. You also need to have sound knowledge about inner components of the computer. The room for error is very negligible with computers. There could be a range of reasons for the hard drive to fail. It might not be anything more than a few hardware malfunctions or malicious attacks by viruses. Sometimes, the user-errors can also damage the overall structure of your hard the drive. Before you discard the drive completely, try and attempt to fix it using the repairing features that are built in the OS. That might end up overwriting the drive’s failed structure.
