我最近有一个运行Windows 10的客户感染了可怕的计算机病毒，导致他无法启动计算机。不幸的是，他的硬盘驱动器上有大量文件需要，因此无法简单地格式化并从头开始。
如果您处于类似的情况，您的硬盘驱动器运行良好，但由于系统文件或病毒的某种损坏而导致操作系统无法启动，那么还有另一种方法可以在之前关闭您的数据你把驱动器擦干净。
在这些类型的情况下，您需要投入少量资金购买所谓的硬盘扩展坞。这基本上是一种设备，可让您（通常）使用SATA硬盘驱动器并通过(SATA)USB将其插入另一台计算机。您可以购买带有 2.5 英寸或 3.5 英寸SATA硬盘驱动器插槽的硬盘，这意味着您可以插入笔记本电脑或台式机硬盘驱动器。如果您有SSD驱动器，还有SSD硬盘驱动器扩展坞。
插入驱动器后，您只需通过USB将其连接到计算机，现在您就可以像浏览外部硬盘一样浏览硬盘了！您不必加载操作系统或任何东西，您可以直接进入您想要的文件和文件夹并复制数据。
在这篇文章中，我将提到几个制造非常好的硬盘坞站的品牌以及您可以在哪里获得它们。我强烈建议购买其中一个，因为它们易于使用（只要您可以自己从计算机中取出硬盘驱动器），而且它比GeekSquad或类似的技术服务便宜得多。
Thermaltake BlacX 硬盘扩展坞(Thermaltake BlacX Hard Drive Docking Station)
如果你在谷歌上搜索这个(search for this on Google)，你会得到一堆不同价格的结果。基本上(Basically)，区别在于设备有一个或两个插槽。我会推荐双插槽，因为它可以让您同时读取笔记本电脑和台式机驱动器。
其次，大多数通过USB(USB)连接到计算机，但有一个更昂贵的也有 eSATA 连接。我只建议如果您需要 eSATA，否则只需购买更便宜的USB(USB one)。多年来对我来说效果很好。
StarTech 外置硬盘坞站
另一个非常好的是StarTech USB to SATA Dock或StarTech eSATA/USB to SATA Dock。同样(Again)，第一个是 20 美元，第二个是 40 - 60 美元，因为有额外的 eSATA 选项。
所以这是我对硬盘驱动器坞站的两个建议。这是从无法通过正常方法（例如启动等）访问的硬盘驱动器上复制数据的最快和最便宜的方法。如果您认为硬盘驱动器出现故障，它甚至可以派上用场。我已经能够从使用其中一个开始发出咔嗒声的硬盘驱动器上复制数据。
当然，也有一些问题。例如，如果您对整个硬盘驱动器甚至特定文件或文件夹进行了加密，除非您在新计算机上拥有正确的加密密钥，否则您将无法查看这些内容。其次，您可能必须手动覆盖文件夹的权限，以便您可以实际复制文件。
有时以这种方式复制数据时，您会在浏览文件时收到“拒绝访问”错误消息。那是因为它来自另一个安装的Windows例如，所以您必须拥有文件夹和文件的所有权，然后您才能复制它们。享受！
Copy Data Off an Unbootable Laptop or Desktop Hard Drive
I recently had a client who was runnіng Windows 10 and got a horrific computer virus that prevented him from starting up his computer. Unfortunately, he had a ton of files on his hard drive that he needed and therefore could not simply format and start from scratch.
If you are in a similar situation where you have a hard drive that works perfectly well, but the operating system won’t boot up because of some kind of corruption of system files or virus, then there is another way to get your data off before you wipe the drive clean.
In these types of cases, you need to invest a small amount of money to buy what is called a hard drive docking station. This is basically a device that lets you take a SATA hard drive (usually) and plug it into another computer via USB. You can buy one that has slots for 2.5″ or 3.5″ SATA hard drives, meaning you can plugin laptop or desktop hard drives. If you have an SSD drive, there are also SSD hard drive docking stations.
Once you plugin the drive, you just connect it to your computer via USB most often and now you can browse the hard drive like an external hard disk! You don’t have to load the OS or anything, you can just go straight to the files and folders you want and copy the data.
In this post, I’ll mention a couple of brands that make really good hard drive docking stations and where you can get them. I highly suggest buying one of these because they are simple to use (as long as you can take a hard drive out of a computer yourself) and it’s far cheaper than going to GeekSquad or some tech service like that.

If you search for this on Google, you’ll get a bunch of results with different prices. Basically, the differences are that the device has either one slot or two. I would recommend the dual slot as that will allow you to read both laptop and desktop drives.
Secondly, most connect to the computer via USB, but there is a more expensive one that also has an eSATA connection. I would only recommend that if you need eSATA, otherwise just get the cheaper USB one. It’s worked great for me for years.
StarTech External Hard Drive Dock
The other really good one is StarTech USB to SATA Dock or StarTech eSATA/USB to SATA Dock. Again, the first one is like $20 and the second one is $40 – $60 because of the extra eSATA option.
So those are my two recommendations for hard drive docks. It’s the fastest and cheapest way to copy data off a hard drive that is no longer accessible via normal methods such as booting up, etc. It can even come in handy if you think the hard drive is failing. I’ve been able to copy data off a hard drive that starting making clicking noises using one of these.
Of course, there are some issues. For example, if you encrypted your entire hard drive or even specific files or folders, you won’t be able to view those unless you have proper encryption keys on your new computer. Secondly, you may have to manually override permissions on a folder so that you can actually copy the files.
Sometimes when copying data this way, you’ll get a “Access Denied” error message when browsing through the files. That’s because it was from another installation of Windows, for example, so you have to take ownership of the folders and files and then you’ll be able to copy them. Enjoy!
