How to Recover Data From a Dead Hard Drive

Let’s dispense with the I-told-you-sos. If you find yourself facing a data recovery job, then you have probably forgotten the cardinal rule of computing: All hard drives eventually fail. And you didn’t back up your data, did you? We’ve been there—hey, everybody has to learn this lesson once. Now what?

1: Power Off the Failing Drive & Eject
Keep the failing drive powered off, ejected from the Mac, and not connected to anything until you are ready to perform the all important file transfer. You do not want to put any additional burden or stress on the failing drive by using it more than it needs to be used. At this point you should think in a data preservation and recovery mindset, so it’s best to leave the drive powered off until you are ready to copy files over to the new replacement drive.

2: Get a New Hard Drive & Format / Partition
Buy a new replacement drive as soon as possible. These are plentiful and cheap on Amazon nowadays and you can get huge amounts of storage for great prices. Once you have your drive:

Format the drive to be Mac compatible, this is easy and we’ve shown how to do it before
If your previous drive was partitioned, do the same with the new drive
Because time is important when drives are going bad, get everything ready on the replacement drive before attempting to copy files from the old failing drive to the new working one. Again, keep the old drive powered off until you are ready to perform a file transfer.
