Good software to recover files from corrupted HDD?
So i bought a docking station for my ssd / HDD because i got a new PC and i want to transfer some files on my new PC. I knew for a long time my HDD is dying but it doesn't even get recoginzed by my PC when i connect it. So i was wondering if there is a good software so i can hopefully recover some pics at least

3.5in hdds need 12v

2.5in hdds and ssd only need 5v, which is powered from usb

make sure you are using the power adapter for the dock for a 3.5in hdd

That doesn't answer my question at all.

"Recuva" maybe ?

just saying that a 3.5in hdd will not show up in disk management without a 12v power adapter

if it does show in disk management, then check its partitions
if they exist, then you can try recovery tools on them

A good hard drive dock supports both.

@op, boot to a live disk, load gparted, select analyze.

Doesn't recognize my GPU, i think its over. I tried multiple programs and ONE is actually scanning my HDD for files but it could take days i think. Its weird because my HDD was working in my old PC, now it won't even work at all.

Mine does support both, even ssd's.

even if it takes both, the 12v adapter is only needed for the 3.5in hdd

but not for a 2.5 hdd/ssd

does the drive show in disk management?

You sure it's not just missing the drive letter?

As for the disk.... Is it spinning? Do you hear a noise when you power it up?

If not, ...
A. if it worked on the old PC, maybe there's a mechanical issue depending on the position of the HDD. Try changing its position over all three 3D planes. That would be the easiest scenario.
B. the heads might be locked/stuck on a non-parking position due to damage and they won't go back without manual intervention. You would have to open up the HDD and park the heads manually.
B. the circuit board might be fried up. Good luck finding a similar circuit board.

Did you check Disk Management in Windows? If it's recognised there, then data recovery software like Recuva or Test Disk should be able to see it and pull data from it, even if Windows itself can't access it.

If it's not there, then the problem is between motherboard and drive. Could be circuit, could be connector. Since it's an old drive, clean the contacts, make sure it's free of dust etc..

Also, why not plug the drive into the old PC, and use that to get the files off it?

That may not work for recovering the data. Even what appears to be an identical board, can have differences that are incompatible with another drive.. Hit and miss whether this works.

Now, if the board is damaged with a split, you could put the drive in the freezer (Which contracts the board enough for the split to "heal", which could allow data to be pulled while that split remains in contact... But, if the drives gone this far that hacks like this are required? Well, it's not going to be fun getting that data back........

Build your own nas. Warranty is futile.
Good luck. You need it

If your HDD isn't recognized by the system, then software cannot access it to recover files.
I have used this to recover my hdd with great success.

Years ago our Windows 10 PC started corrupting random blocks on the hard drive and I was able to boot a Linux DVD and run a Linux program which read all the blocks it could from the drive and reassemble the filesystem from that. I think it was recuperabit.

We got most of our user files back that way. If the PC can see the drive but Windows can't then that may work, but obviously won't if you can't get the PC to see it at all.

Is the disk not being recognised or is it the USB docking station not being recognised? Start with the basics. Best option would be to install the HDD internally on some computer. At least that way the bios will recognise it (or not if it's totally dead). An older PC might be better for this.
If the bios "reads" the disk, then you can use Hiren's boot CD and boot from a CD/DVD or USB stick and use the many programs available there (gparted comes to mind first but there are a lot of them). Just don't go deleting partitions from the start.
If the disk doesn't get read by the bios, you might be able to find another working disk with the same chipset and swap them. Not a guarantee, though.
Hiren's boot cd is now windows, but older versions are still linux based and can be found here:

https://www.hirensbootcd.org/old-versions/

I always had better results recovering stuff in a Linux OS. Once I was even able to recover about 98% of the files from an otherwise dead RAID system in a windows server.
