My HD on Sony Vaio laptop has crashed. It won't launch windows and I cannot access anything. I'm almost certain that my HD has crashed because I hear clicking noises and it has had similar related issues before.
Anyways, I have some very precious data on there, mostly pictures... If I take it to the professional, is there any chance of recovering those data given that the problem is HD crash?
 
If it's clicking that's pretty bad news, that's a mechanical failure and one of the hardest types of failures to recover from. There are places that can do it, but expect it to be in the hundreds of dollars to do it.

A professional should have a pretty good chance of recovering everything, but those kind of services tend to be pricey.
 
If your HD of Sony Vaio laptop make clicking noises then it is a hardware error and it will be better to visit a data recovery expert who will do data recovery manually. Because there is no certain time till it will work or not for a data recovery software to completely recover the data from.
 
Learn the hard lesson and back up your valued data. Get an external hard drive or a 16 gigabyte flash drive. I prefer external hard drives over flash drives for backup because the data transfer rate is much faster with external hard drives.

Perform backups at least once every two weeks. Any hard drive can fail without warning.

I personally don't recommend flash drives for backup purposes but an external HDD works well.

Backing up your data with a USB flash drive is better than not doing it at all. This hard disk drive recovery is likely going to be expensive for the person that lost their data.
 
You can also purchase the exact same hard drive (exact) and transplant your hard drive's data platters across to the new hard drive. It can be done, worth investigating.

You can also freeze it but ensure its water tight and has deccicant to absorb condensation, then immediately connect to computer and copy info. Not too confident it is worth it to be honest.

Pay $800 to get a data recover guy to extract it in 30 minutes.
