AVOID FUTURE LOSSES

If your drive makes any unusual noises including scrapping, grinding or clicking, turn it off. You may be damaging the platters which contain your data.

Do not use utilities that save information to the drive you are trying to recover from or don’t allow you to save an undo file. If you save ‘recovered’ data back to the drive you are recovering from, you may overwrite the data you actually needed.

Keep a backup. There is no substitute for this. Yes, it costs money to set-up and maintain, but is the best way to avoid data recovery. A good backup methodology can reduce your potential for data loss to almost zero.
