  • Demo of hard drive data recovery. My Hard Drive Died dot Com DIY Videos - This is a complete rebuild of a hard drive, moving platters and heads as a demo. This is how it is done and I stop and show the camera how each item is moved and rebuild.
    I have a lot of clients ask in the classes I teach for Data Recovery Forensics how this is done and wanted video of this process.
    So here it is. Understand that I teach classes on the whole process end to end, from selecting the hard drive for a donor to how the heads work and how to move them safely and realign them. You can see those at My Hard Drive Died dot Com.

    Just a hint from a video producer - always position the camera in such a way that nothing will come between it and the intended object. Much of what you were doing in this video, for example, was obscured by your arm/hand/or fingers.

    When you dropped the platters a 6:16, I almost died. Then I realized that was your rebuild drive.

    really, Scott Moulton is professional in his work and traning.
    I finished training in data recovery with him today for one week.
    I recovered 4 HDD out of 6 successfully.

    Did he swap the heads?
    Can you upload a video how to remove the headstack assembly and reinstall it. Is it simple?
    Do you need like a torque screwdriver to use the right amount of force to reseat the main screw or something like that?

  • @DjAdam16

    Quick question Moulton, what exactly is that fan behind the drives? I assume those are to remove any form of dust in the room, so they don't fall on top of the platters, correct? For curiosity, I would like to know more what kind of fan is it. Thanks.

    Do you need exactly the same model or can you swap plates from one disk to another one with the same capacity and perhaps an other brand or model nr?

    hello sir scott, good evening! I'm new to data recovery, I subscribed and almost watched all your videos in data recovery. I just wanted to ask, what material is that you used to insert in between the heads before and after putting away the hdd heads from the platter? Answer is appreciated. thank you

    hello friend thanks for your very good video I understand the process and I understand that another disc is needed in good conditions to make the change. What program do you use for the recovery? It is possible to say this in advance. Thank you very much. A hug from Chile.

    my 1tb samsung HD103UJ won't spinup, the head is not stick on the plate . after 50 sec i see a little movment on the spindle with a half ms pitch sound. whats wrong. bad motor or dead bearing ? or a burned chip ?

  • @DatamedicsRecovery
    @DatamedicsRecovery 9 років тому +8

    Also, why are you platter swapping when the problem is with the read/write heads? That's taking one problem and adding three more on top of it. You should have only moved the actuator assembly over to the donor. Only time to move platters is if the motor is completely failed or the bearing is seized and can't be freed up.
    This is just shameful bad practice. Sorry to say. I really hope this wasn't an actual customer drive you were working on.

    • @ubreakitirepairit3569
      @ubreakitirepairit3569 8 років тому

      I think it was easier to platter swap vs head swap.

    • @Gaelmalkavian
      @Gaelmalkavian 7 років тому +1

      Maby but, you dont´t take the easy way, you take de right way i think...

    • @DatamedicsRecovery
      @DatamedicsRecovery 7 років тому +4

      Platter swap is the wrong way. Head swapping has 100x better chance of success.

    • @CheadledatarecoveryCoUk
      @CheadledatarecoveryCoUk 7 років тому +3

      Agreed. Potential problems with concentricity for any platter swap. Then alignment for multi platter disk. Platter swap is a last resort only to be used in motor seizures when it is not possible to replace the bearing.

    • @NetRolller3D
      @NetRolller3D 9 років тому

      Doug Mckinney 5 or 6? the maximum I've ever seen on a modern drive was 3 - perhaps more in the new WD helium-filled drives, but if you are recovering from one of those, too many platters are the least of your concerns.

    • @JgHaverty
      @JgHaverty 8 років тому

      +NetRolller3D 8 and 10tb drives have 7 platters...

    • @NetRolller3D
      @NetRolller3D 8 років тому

      +JgHaverty aren't those the infamous helium-filled drives? IIRC the maximum physically possible in a 3.5" enclosure in an air atmosphere is 5.

    except it's pretty blurry at times, your hand is in the way at a critical moment once and there could be some narration to really make it a lot more effective. Oh wait no again.. nice view of your arm and watch. I see movement..you're doing ..something. Narration again would be fabulous. Is that tool something that can be bought? Made?
