Hi,
I have a Hp laptop with i5 Processor, 640 GB HD. My HD is Crashed due to damage. It does not have any partition table in it. Then how I can recover my data from it. Is anybody have some tool that to it? (Note : Recover My File software showed some files in it, But it requires license key. )
It does not have partition table or you could not find it. Use any ubuntu or Mint live CD to boot. See what devices it recognizes, there will be a good chance that it can find your disk. ( see grub usage ) Although , if your disk is physically damaged then nothing much can be done. Other questions come up. How many partitions and what boot loader you were using? Thanks.
No partition table? you mean you didn't create it at first place or is it damaged now?
Anyway, check DEFT Linux (http://www.deftlinux.net/) or System Rescue CD (http://www.sysresccd.org/Main_Page). They are example of Linux system that are made for system forensics and/or system resuce.
Tips: first thing you have to do, in my opinion, is creating exact disc image. I think dd or its variant like dclfdd (http://dcfldd.sourceforge.net/) could serve you well.
PS: you will get better answer if you direct your further question in forensic related mailing list :)
