When a drive starts throwing errors, shows up as RAW or freezes the computer, the key is to stop all writes and avoid actions that overwrite data.
Quick answer
- DO NOT: Do not format, initialize, run CHKDSK or install an operating system on that drive.
- If the drive slows down or freezes the system, disconnect it and do not keep stressing it with more attempts.
- Safest approach: first create an image (sector by sector), then recover from the copy.
- Send it to a laboratory when you hear worrying sounds or the drive disappears — there is a risk of mechanical damage.
Safe steps: step by step
- Stop using the drive and disconnect it.
- Do not perform system repairs on this drive (CHKDSK / "Repair").
- If possible, create a sector-by-sector image onto another device.
- Work on a copy: scan and recover files from the image, not from the original.
- If the drive is unstable or noisy, hand it over to a laboratory (cleanroom).
Most common causes
- Bad sectors / surface degradation.
- Firmware / translator problems / Service Area errors.
- Damage to electronics / power supply / ports.
- File system errors after a power failure or interrupted write.
