sweeks, what's the problem with it?
if it's corrupted or lost data, mount it as an external drive on a different machine and try photorec, recuva or a combination of both to try to recover some of your data. I was able to do this with some failed IBM server drives a few years ago.

For controller board failure, you might get an electronics shop to swap controllers, but it's risky and I've never had that done personally

For enterprise class stuff, not sure if the operation can be done locally, I've heard of services in the us, but no first hand experience.

IF the failed SAS HDD was part of a RAID configuration, Good luck. You'll need to seek help from foreign companies who'll have to rebuild your RAID (using all your drives) in order to recover lost data. Success rate varies based on the severity of the corruption (if its pnm lvl, hardluck haaaaaaaa..) One such company https://www.werecoverdata.com/

If it's a single drive and NOT part of a RAID, you can try a local company. http://www.revocott.com/

Their service is... moderate.... Hope you get through.

X2 on what Vexx Dogg said....

you can do your own recovery - mount it as an external drive via an enclosure and try some programs.

for the controller board failure you can swap out the controller board with an IDENTICAL board from another IDENTICAL drive (size and firmware must be the same on both donor and recipient drive)


if it was part of a RAID....as another tuner said..you may hav to send away your drive to be recovered...
depending on your raid setup...you may be able to just rebuild your raid array by simply replacing the defective drive and get back your data.

How hard is it to recover a deleted folder from a flashdrive?

And any suggestions on how to go about it?

Free to use if the recovered file is under 2GB. I've used this software brand in the past.

Seconded on this

This is my go to because it's easy to use.

Just make sure you don't use the drive until it's time to run this program

Most of these programs you have to buy to recover anything.
Anyone has a paid version around san Fernando and environs?

Data recovery is never going to be free. It is the most expensive field in IT by far.
Is the file bigger than 2GB, that the EaseUS program not working?

I had went back and collected almost all the info. Im halfway through and while sorting last night half of that just disappear from the screen. If you select all the folders and click properties to get a tally of numbers its saying 152 in total but on screen there was like 70 in total.

Removed the HD from this PC and connected to another device. Ran some recovery software on the disk and saw a lot of files when time to recover it said you have to pay for the software. Used a few others inclusive of EaseUs on the pc and it didnt do much. Used EaseUs on the new device and a lot of info showed up.

May not need this software again and unsure how effective its going to be hence I asked of anyone has it. At the same time, what can cause files to be deleted because the files show up as deleted.

So where's the original data? The point of backup is that the data exists in 2 places the original data and the backed up data.

Windows is always writing data to connected hard drives, so the deleted data will start to disappear over time and new sectors are written over, as well as allocating new addresses on the file system. Things like hidden system volume protected folders that you can't normally see, it's always doing that.


This is why Data Recovery is so expensive because it's so complicated. If the data is crucial, you have to pay a company to recover it. If not, well get what you can and forget about the rest.
