Hi everyone.
As per the title, I have a WD Green 1tb that has failed. It was my main C drive and my old emails and stuff are all on there along with family pictures and who knows what else. I've rebuilt the PC on an older 250gb drive so I'm up and running.
I would like to recover it if possible, but I can't afford to go to specialist firms. The drive is dated July 2011 so I know it's in warranty but that doesn't help with recovery.
I have tried EASEUS Data Recovery Wizard Professional, 5.5.1. It sees the drive, and tries to recover, but just sits there with about 1% of the bar showing. I left it for 24 hours but no change.
If it's the heads buggered, then I assume no software can read it. Are there any tricks that can help? I've heard of freezing it. I don't know how that's supposed to help but if it does I'l try it.
Can anyone advise please? Thank you.
