When a hard drive dies, it can be nerve-wracking, particularly if your data was not backed up. This problem can occur for a multitude of reasons: Perhaps you recently plugged in new hardware or installed software and didn’t follow the directions properly, or maybe the drive has been dropped, bent or otherwise physically damaged in some way. Unfortunately, there’s no surefire way to fix a hard drive or its motor, but there are many techniques you can try with fingers crossed before you send off the drive for costly data recovery.
