Recovering a hard disk especially on a laptop is something that no one expects to do. Unlike in desktop computers, recovering laptop hard disk can be more costly, as disassembling a laptop can be tricky. Luckily there are a few things you can do to make the process easier.
Though there is no easy way to recover from hard disk failure you can take steps to lessen the impact and reduce the stress involved. One common way is to back up your files regularly, for example copying your files to DVD or your desktop each week. If your laptop is used heavily for business purposes then you need to back it up every three days or even every day after you finish your daily activities.
Flash drive is usually not a permanent solution as the storage capacity can be limited for storing large files. However it can be useful for daily backup due to its practical usages style especially if your daily files are only a few gigabytes. DVDs are cheaper than flash drive when viewed from the dollars/gigabyte factor. However, writing files to DVD can be less easy than writing to flash drive. A DVD-R is a read only media and usually the cheapest option for backup, each can accommodate about 4,7GB of files, a pack of 100 DVD-Rs (470B) is usually sold for less than $25.
Sometimes it can be a little frustrating to see your backup media missing, destroyed or broken. But don’t worry, keep creating a backup as soon or later or hard drive will fail, and having a backup may not bring back everything to normal but it will make your life easier.
