The client reached out to our Hyderabad data recovery center after their 14 year old Hitachi hard disk became inaccessible. While the drive was powering on and detected by the system, the data inside showed as unreadable or missing. The customer had not experienced any major drops or obvious failures, and standard scanning tools yielded no progress. The unexpected nature of the failure made it particularly challenging.

Initial diagnostics ruled out common issues such as bad sectors, firmware corruption, or read/write head failures. However, our deeper analysis identified a rare logical fault within the drive’s volume metadata, likely caused by system-level conflicts or improper handling by incompatible backup software. This unusual corruption required custom file system parsing and advanced data structure reconstruction.

Using industry-leading logical data recovery tools and in-house proprietary techniques, our engineers bypassed the corrupted metadata and built a raw disk image for advanced file extraction. We meticulously restructured the lost directory tree and recovered files while maintaining original file names and paths. This process took detailed sector-level inspection and validation to ensure accuracy.

We achieved 100% data recovery, retrieving approximately 390GB of data from the Hitachi 500GB hard drive. The customer reviewed and verified the restored files, confirming that all key folders and personal files were intact. Despite the unusual and non-standard problem, our experienced engineers managed to deliver a successful outcome within the expected time frame.

If you’re facing data loss from a Hitachi hard disk or any other brand—whether due to uncommon issues, corrupted volumes, or logical errors—DataCare Labs can help. Serving Hyderabad and surrounding cities, we provide professional hard drive data recovery services across India and worldwide.
