How to backup data from a bad partition?

Hi,
My HDD in my Macbook Pro crashed due to a frequent uncontrollable on and off, I tried to boot into recovery mode but it won't let me mount the drive so that I can't repair permission, and I also fail to repair the disk neither not even target disk mode to another mac. So I assume my HDD is totally screwed for now, so are there any way to backup any data from this screwed HDD?
Thank you so very much!
Jeffero.    

You can always try - but there's no guarantee of success.
Which model (e.g., "15" late 2011") MacBook Pro do you have? Need that info...
The first thing that you'll need to do, of course, is buy a new hard drive and install it. Decide on what speed (5400rpm or 7200rpm) you want and then how much space you need.
The second thing is to buy an enclosure for your 'old' HD - I have a number of these from OWC.
The third thing - formatting and installing a working OS on your new hard drive will depend on which model MacBook Pro you have.
Fourth thing - to try to recover data yourself, you're just going to have to pony up $100 and purchase DiskWarrior: now I've never used it - I have tested Data Rescue 3 on undamaged drives with great success -  but I think that in your case DiskWarrior would be the better product. Don't be surprised if it doesn't work - it just offers you the 'best chance' to rescue data.
Once you have your new hard drive installed and bootable, connect your old drive (now in an enclosure) and use DiskWarrior to try rescuing some data. As I said, there's no guarantee here but it's the first thing to try before spending $1000 or so at a data rescue specialist.
Good luck,
Clinton

  • How to retrieve data from a bad HDD off of a L755?

    I have a L755-S5162 Satellite. Recently the HDD went bad.
    It is a Toshiba 640gb SATA drive.
    BIOS won't see it at all, nor will the BIOS of my desktop when I conenct it to the desktop.
    When connected however, it sees power and I can hear it spin,
    but all it does is "click" or "tick" for a little while; then nothing...
    All I need is to "zombify" it for a little bit to get at least some of my data off of it,
    so any ideas on how do I go about that would be greatly appreciated!

    L755-S5162 Satellite
    Maybe this one?
    Satellite L755D-S5162
    1. Possibly it is still accessible as an external drive using another computer. To do that, you would mount it in an enclosure. If it's still not accessible, sometimes this freezer trick works.
    2. If the above fails, the Ontrack people can recovery almost anything, but it's very expensive.

  • How to reinstall data from hp backup discs

    System crashed. Can't seem to figure out how to reinstall data from backup discs.

    Greetings,
    If you place the first disc into your DVD-ROM and start your computer, on the HP screen press Escape until you get a menu. Select the Boot menu, choose CD/DVD-ROM, and then enter. Press any key when it tells you to press any key to boot off CD-ROM. This will load the recovery software.
    *****WARNING***** you will lose all files and programs that you have installed and placed on your computer since you purchased the unit.
    . Once this has been completed, you will see a HP Recovery screen. Select System Recovery, then select next and follow the prompts. There should be a section allowing you to backup your data onto a flash drive. Now I recommend if there is any critical data on your disk that you verify the backup prior to initiating the actual recovery.
    This will set your computer up as the day that you first purchased it. All data and programs installed on the computer since the day you purchased it will be gone.
    During this process make sure you are on your AC adapter and you have no extra devices plugged in such as printers, external hard disks, and flash drives while the actual recovery is taking place. You can use your flash drive during the backup process portion.
    Good Luck

    How to restore Data from past iCloud backup?
    Is there a way where i can retrieve my spreadsheets from the past iCloud backup of numbers?

    Your Numbers documents were synced with iCloud so they would be stored on the server rather than being included in the backup.  If you were signed into your iCloud account on a Mac that you were backing up with Time Machine, you could restore them from your Time Machine backup.

  • How Do I Delete backup data from Time Capsule if have 2 computers on 1 TC?

    I have been backing up 2 computers (one desktop/one laptop) to a 1TB Time Capsule. I have now added an external hard drive for the desktop computer and would like to delete that computer's backups from Time Capsule to free up space for the laptop computer. How do I delete the desktop computer's backup data from Time Capsule without disturbing the laptop back ups? Do I drag the desktop computer's backups.backupdb and sparsebundle to trash and empty?
    Thanks.

    Thanks though I am still a bit confused as I had read NOT to delete via Finder, but via Disk Utility (erase). Does it make any difference?
    You're probably referring to the advice never to change, move, or delete anything inside your backups via the Finder, as that can corrupt them.
    A number of folks have tried to delete a single backup that way, and caused all sorts of troubles.
    Deleting the entire sparse bundle is ok.

  • How to backup files from other user logged in as administrator

    RE: How to backup files from other user logged in as administrator AND/OR how to repair drive with "Invalid catalog PEOF"
    Hello,
    My MacBook Pro computer’s hard drive is not booting.
    I booted with the base operating system and ran Disk utilities and I got the following messages:
        Invalid catalog PEOF
        The volume could not be verified completely.
        This disk needs to be repaired.
        Disk utility can’t repair this disk. Backup as many files as possible, reformat the disk,
        and restore your backed-up files.
    The problem is that I have a couple of USERS set up on this computer, and it won’t let me backup the files of the second user.  The folders are locked and I can’t access them, even though I am logged in as the administrator.
    I made a boot disk on my other computer ( a MacPro Early 2008 ) desktop computer with the DiskWarrior 4.4 updater,
    but it won’t boot on my MacBook Pro.
    How can I backup these user files so that I can copy them back once I fix the drive?
    or better yet,  How can I repair the Invalid catalog PEOF on this drive?
    Thank you in advance for your time!

    Try using Disk Utility/Restore to copy the backup to a new location. Please note that this will reformat the destination partition which will erase all data.
    Do a backup. Boot to the Recovery Volume (command - R on a restart or hold down the option/alt key during a restart and select Recovery Volume). Run Disk Utility Verify/Repair and Repair Permissions until you get no errors.  Reformat the drive using Disk Utility/Erase Mac OS Extended (Journaled), then click the Option button and select GUID. Then re-install the OS.

  • How to extract data from ODS to non-SAP system

    Hi,
    Can anybody tell me, step by step, how to extract data from ODS to a non-SAP system?
    Is it possible to do it without programming effort? And is there volume limits for this kind of extraction?
    The non-SAP system is an unix system.
    Thanks in advance
    Ella

    Ella,
    You can look at it from the concept of a BADI / Infospoke
    Extract the data from the ODS to a Flat file / RDBMS using an infospoke. I am not sure as to how the infospoke loads data into the RDBMS ( did it very long ago ) but then you can push it into an RDBMS and I am sure it will be system neutral.
    Hope this helps...

  • How to insert data from *.dmp file to  oracle 11g using Oracle SQL Develope

    hi
    i backup my database using PL/SQL developer and made *.dmp file
    how to insert data from *.dmp file to oracle 11g using Oracle SQL Developer 2.1.1.64
    and how to make *.dmp file from sql*plus ?
    thanks in advance

    Pl/Sql developer has a config window, there you choose the exec to do the import/export.
    Find it and his home version, it may be exp or expdp, the home version is the version of the client where the exp executable is.
    Then use the same version of imp or impdp to execute the import, you do not need to use Oracle SQL Developer 2.1.1.64. If you want to use it, you must have the same version in the oracle home that exp/imp of sql developer use.

  • Transferring iPhone/iPod touch backup data from PC to a Mac

    Hello everyone! Is it possible for me to transfer my iPhone & iPod touch backup data from my PC (Windows 7) to a Macbook Pro? Because I'm planning to switch to Mac soon. I've tried transferring my backup data from PC to PC and it worked (Windows XP2 to Windows 7). I was able to sync my previous data to my iDevices when I plugged them into my new PC. If it is possible, can anybody please tell me how?
    Thanks a lot.
    STEPHEN, 23, PHILIPPINES/DUBAI, UAE

    ... I fear that if I connect my iPhone to it all my iPhone information, including apps will be deleted.
    You are correct. Transfer your iTunes library, which includes your app and music purchases from the PC directly to your new MacBook Pro. Your photos, contacts, and other information can be transferred also if you use Migration Assistant.
    This explains how to use Migration Assistant: OS X Lion: About Windows Migration Assistant
    After you sync the iPhone to the PC for the last time, "deauthorize" the PC for music purchases.
    When you sync the iPhone to the MacBook for the first time, it will tell you that it is already synced to another computer, and give you the option to erase and sync it to the MacBook.
