Fujitsu MPE3346AE Data Recovery Information
Fujitsu drives fail and the MPE3346AE is no exception to this.
   
The hard-drive is running on Windows-XP and 1GB RAM and I cannot get the OS to "boot." The hard-drive is not spinning, it powers-on to a blue-screen and leaves me hanging. I need to recover the data on the hard-drive; however, I cannot even get it to "boot" - please help!? Not recognized by the bios or OS. It's a Fujitsu MPE3346AE hard drive.

Fujitsu's reputation has certainly improved since they admitted a few years ago that they had released around 9 million defective drives from their MPG and MPF hard drive series into the market with faulty chips (Cirrus Logic Chip). After several months of use hard drives usually failed to spin up, behave erratically, start clicking etc. This happened many years ago, but we still receive these old Fujitsu Hard Disks into our data recovery lab and in 100% of the cases we get all data back thanks our Fujitsu MPG Data Recovery Solution.
When these drives fail it is essential that you do not attempt to replace a faulty controller board with one from a working drive. Information on the board is specific to the drive it has been attached to and it will not function anywhere else. What's worse is that a different controller board can cause mechanical failure and dramatically increasing the risk of rendering your data unrecoverable. As soon as you suspect your Fujitsu drive may be about to malfunction, turn the drive off and remove it from the system as soon as possible. The sooner you power down the drive the better your chances of recovering lost data once you send the drive into us for diagnosis. These days, hard disk drives from Fujitsu (including 3.5", 2.5" and 1.8" notebook format) generally perform with higher than average reliability than is available from other manufacturers.
I get following blue screen: C0000218 Reg File Failure; Registry Cannot Load The Hive (file); \systemroot\system32\config\software its log or alternate.
Get that everytime the machine is booted. Got this message just once: 0x0000008e (0xc0000005, 0x805452f3, 0xa88a3aac, 0x00000000)
This is a brand new machine and has only microsoft office and avast anti-virus loaded on it other than factory software. Would appreciate any help. as I need the data asap.

Fujitsu drive's can spin up and the head starts clicking right from the beginning with a regular clicking sound. More times than not this a sign of bad heads, if this is the case it is very important to perform accurate diagnostics and eliminate a chance of possible firmware corruption or PCB failure that sometimes could also cause clicking.
The last typical Fujitsu hard drive issue applies also to all other hard drive makes and models, the problem is called bad sectors. After some period of time the disk platters were the data is located starts to degrade and bad sectors appear. freezing, scratching and sometimes even clicking. Whenever the drive attempts to read bad sector it could start freezing, scratching, ticking and sometimes loud clicking. This leads to further damage to the surface and causes more data loss. As soon as you start experiencing such symptoms while reading important files stop the drive immediately and consider sending it to a data recovery company like ourselves for a free diagnostic. Any further attempts to read the Fujitsu drive would just add up to the problems and make more data unrecoverable. In our Data Recovery Lab we use expensive imaging tools that are capable of force reading bad sectors from Fujitsu Hard Disks. This is usually the only way to effectively retrieve data from these Drives.If you experience any of the symptoms described above with your Fujitsu MPE3346AE please call us on 0207 112 1770. If you hear your Fujitsu MPE3346AE hard drive making some other unusual noises please call us on 0207 112 1770.
