REPAIRING THE BROKEN HARD DISK

It is possible to repair a broken hard disk, but there are a few things which have to be done beforehand.

Turn off and completely unplug the computer. Everything needs to be shut-down and unplugged so there is no possibility of electrocution or further damage to the hard disk.

Clean all dust and debris from the computer's case. Making sure everything is clean will take away any chance of contaminating the hard disk whilst repairing it. Also remove the back of the case and clean inside. Using canned air is the best way of not shorting anything out and causing further damage.

Unscrew the case completely and remove detachable parts to gain access to the hard disk. A screwdriver is all that is needed to do this. Make sure there are no devices still attached and watch for clips and plastic pieces that could break off during the removal.

Remove the hard disk. Now the case is off the hard disk can be removed. When it is, check it over for obvious problems - such as dust or debris. If all appears well, replace it and re-screw on the case.

System restore. Turn the computer back on. If there is a restore program (present with a Windows operating system of XP or newer), you may be able to use this to restore your computer to its last-saved point. Using this could get the hard drive operating again. There may have been a program or file you downloaded that caused the initial problem. Restoring the computer to the last-saved point should bring the computer back to its original state - before the installation of the damaging software.

Check system files and folders. For Windows 95, 98, 2000 and Windows ME there will be sub-directories in the Windows system files. Here you will need to confirm the existence of a config.sys file. If this is present, and there are no other missing files or drivers, begin looking through your system files and folders to make sure that programs that have been recently installed or downloaded are working properly. If you have recently installed a program, removing it could improve the hard drive and correct problems.

If you have done this, try restarting the computer. Restarting and re-booting will help to refresh the system and bring everything back to its original state.
