My HDD is not detected. I want to recover data that's in it.
Hi,
I had a laptop on which I had stored some very important document. The laptop’s HDD failed and I cannot access the files no more.
The HDD is Fujitsu FKL-MHZ2320BH G2.
I have a SATA reader to USB cable. I have tested the cable with another internal Laptop HDD and it works fine. But when I try to plug in that failed HDD, my Linux machine doesn’t even detect it. No output to the following commands: lsusb, lshw, lspci.
But the HDD makes rattling noise and the lights on my SATA reader casing displays show everything is normal.
Please tell me if I can I fix it with software? Or is the hardware damaged, that will need professional help? The data is sensitive and I’d like to recover it myself if I can. If so, please tell me how. Thank you.
Is this a good question?
