Zero93644 Posted July 12, 2015 Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 (edited) Recently my desktop hard drive crashed and got corrupted now it no longer boots up and I get the error no bootable device detected. The error code is 2000:0142. Anyways I am trying to figure out a way to retrieve and transfer the data to my WD external hard drive. Does anyone know of any software that will get the job done? Because my computer no longer boots up it has to work using a bootable disc. At the very least maybe some sort of program that will allow me see whats on the drive so I know what I will need to replace. Any help with this will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Jªvª Posted July 12, 2015 Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 Easiest way is just plug it in on a working computer as a slave or via usb. Hopefully the working computers os can pick it up and get access via that way. If not I usually utilize Hiren's BootCD with the numerous tools it has to see what the health of the HD is and check if I can get into it that way.

If it's dead it's dead, should've known better to backup since going to a data recovery place would cost quite a bit of money, compared to backup solutions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnFlower Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 It's also silly to suspect that it's dead without any evidence prior. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I should have explained myself. Since everybody else explained backing up with software and my personal solution of using another computer the read the data off of it, I just added to it by suggesting that if all else fails then u got a dead hardrive that can't be more dead if you were to open it up and trying to fix the parts yourself. I mean, you can't be more dead than dead right. OP gots nothing to lose at that point.Sent from my LG-D415 using TapatalkIt applies to everything, really.
