I'm not sure if this is the right section for this thread, but I have a laptop harddrive that BSOD'd and there is importrant information on there I need to get. Sorry, I dpn't remember the stop error number.

Is there anyway to do this?

I tried putting it in an enclosure, but to no evail. When it is on it clicks.

Any ideas?

 

If you have another computer at home, you can purchase a laptop IDE to USB connection and slave the hard drive as if it was a jump drive. Try checking your nearest computer store and inquire about them, I'm pretty sure that they carry them in stock

 

Sounds like he tried that. Do a google search for hard drive freezer trick...Otherwise either kiss your data or $$ goodbye (recovery is not cheap)

 

i did the freezer trick as well. it's been sittin for a few months now, maybe i'll get lucky and it will work now.

i know they have laptop to IDE converters, but my desktop is only SATA

when i put it in the external enclosure, and plugged it in, it started to install, then it said "there was a problem installing your device. your device may not work properly"

 

There are many professional recovery services. We used one for work one time, but it was $2k per HDD, regardless of size. Not cheap.

 

My work laptop recently crashed with the BSOD. Unmountable_boot_volume was the error I believe. The hard drive was encrypted to so I was fucked. Lost a shit load of data. I was pretty much haphazard with backing up my data.

Lesson learned. I now backup all my shit every 2 weeks. I use a network based backup program.
