Certified Repaired Hard Drive

without comments

This was the second drive in my desktop computer, where I kept my Windows profile. All my data was either in the Windows profile or outside of it, but on this drive. Windows was installed on another drive.

Certified Repaired HDD
One day (a few years ago) this drive started making (clicking) noises, and Windows started giving errors. It still worked, and I copied most of the data to another drive. However for some directories and files it gave errors. When Windows gave errors, the drive would disappear so I had to reboot, then it would be recognized again until I accessed certain data. To eliminate the time consuming process of rebooting I mounted it into an external USB hard drive bay, and I was able to copy most of the (still accessible) data that way.
That is the last known state of the drive. It still probably works but I didn’t want to keep trying to avoid possible degradation.
The label on the HDD states ‘Certified Repaired HDD‘ – by Seagate.

Hard drive freezes
Though my hardrive appears when connected to my laptop, it freezes when trying to open it/access any files and multiple attempts at using disk utility has failed to fix the issue. I believe the problem is multiple bad sectors as the hardrive continually causes programs on my laptop to freeze and thus I have to remove the drive without ejecting, likely causing further bad sectors. The drive came as a certified repaired drive from Seagate, but I have the opinion that it’s not a very good hard drive. I sometimes hear a beep noise too coming from the drive. I’ve tried downloading software to extract the files from the drive but it is so corrupted that it just causes my laptop to freeze. I was wondering if there was any way to retrieve my data and if this is solvable.

I have a seagate go flex drive which we cant access even though we have the passwords etc, it seems the drive has failed. it has our family photos on it, approx 1.7 gb of data [not 100% of how much is on there]. would you be able to retrieve the data? also what would be the costs?

Seagate Backup Plus external driver dropped. Makes beeping sound when trying to power up and not recognised by computer. Windows USB sound made but no drive available. Power light on HDD doesn’t come on either. Email only please, at work so can’t answer phone.

Please avoid ‘Certified Repaired’ hard drives, they are not up to the standard of brand new hard drives.
