Hey guys what is up? I really need help recovering my data files without data loss (sounds like a fantasy) What happened, I was playing BF4 64 MP yesterday, had a little argument and heat with wifey, whacked laptop on the middle keyboard part and pulled out the AC charger adapter (laptop did not have battery that time), now it could not repair itself via recovery, put in on an enclosure, but is not recognized, luckily a small partition is readable (lenovo folders for applications and drivers) so I am still hoping to retrieve my data...
What should I do first? Repair windows boot or recover files?
model is WD scorpio blue 2.5 500GB HDD.
Any recommended software to use?
I already did that CHKDSK windows, did not help,
Now its showing drive could not be accessed, cyclic redundancy error.
I just want to retrieve my files and probably rre install windows 8. Is the hard drive half dead?
TLDR; HDD crashed, need tips for file recovery.
