Data Recovery from Samsung SpinPoint laptop hard disks

Samsung laptop hard disk drive failures - Data recovery information

Information: Typically if you have a Samsung hard drive, it will be from their 'SpinPoint' range.

Failure Symptoms: Common failure symptoms relating to all types of Samsung laptop hard disks include -

  • The drive will appear dead - the PC will not boot and the drive will not be recognised when the PC is switched on
  • The drive will emit a ticking / clicking / knocking sound when the PC is switched on & the computer will hang. This symptom is indicative of an internal mechanical problem on the hard disk, fortunately, Data Clinic are nearly always able to recover the data in these situations. If you would like to view the internals of a ticking hard disk you can do so by viewing a Quicktime movie on our knocking / ticking & clicking hard disks page.
  • The PC will start to run slowly - various file related actions such as opening and copying files will take a long time to complete or not complete at all. Problems of this type are usually indicative of media degradation on the hard disk platter surface - this is often referred to as a bad sector problem. Data Clinic are often able to fully recover drives with these errors using our own in-house developed data recovery hardware tool "EMAC".

What if I have one of these drives but the symptoms are different?: This is quite possible, they are still prone to all the other problems hard disks suffer from ie. mechnical failure, logical failure, bad sectors etc.

What should I do?: Call the Data Clinic and talk your problem through with us on 0870 140 2525, or fill out our auto-form and we'll call you back
