How do i fix error code -36?

get up and and then fix it.
you mean after 'dropping the drive' ? Keep your fingers crossed.

If the head was parked and you are lucky, it might power up.

Depending on the country you live, there may be specialist drive data recovery experts but you can very much forget your drive if the fall was above 3 feet.

What is the symptom when you power on ? noise ? clicks ? error message ?

Well in this case i suppose you need backup help and for that technical people can better guide you.

The Windows Backup and Restore feature allows you to save files and system images to external backup devices such as hard drives and flash drives. However, backing up files become problematic if the directory your backing up files from isn't configured properly, or if you're having issues with the devices you're backing files to. There are ways to solve or work around backup problems quickly and safely.

Hard Drive b> A backup will not complete if the files you're backing up exceed the amount of space left on the external hard drive. If you're backing up large system files, Microsoft recommends saving the backup to an external hard drive that can hold at least 200 GB. If you're running out of space, you must delete content to create space for others or use another hard drive. Error Codes In some cases, Windows displays the following error codes when it's unable to complete a backup: "0x80070001 (Invalid Function)" or "0x81000037: Windows Backup failed while trying to read from the shadow copy on one of the volumes being backed up." These error messages usually appear if Windows is unable to backup a specific library or if you opt out of adjusting your backup settings and settle for the default settings in the Windows Backup and Restore Feature. Reparse Point b> If you're unable to backup a specific library and run into error code messages, removing the reparse point allows you to complete the backup. A reparse point is a file that contains information about the user on a computer. If it doesn't point to a location that contains some of the data you want to backup, error messages appear when you try to back up your files. Type "CMD" in the Start Search box to open the Command Prompt. In the Command Prompt, typing "DIR /AL /S" and pressing Enter lists the reparse points. Each entry says "JUNCTION," which also means reparse point. The entries also tell you the location of the reparse points in Windows Explorer. If you locate a specific reparse point in Windows Explorer, delete its mounted volume from the device's Properties. Once deleted, you should be able to back up your files. Discs b> If you're backing up files to a disc, you'll run into problems if the discs are non-rewritable and already contain data, or if they are severely scratched or damaged. Non-rewritable discs can only be used once, while rewritable discs can be used to read and write data several times. If the CD or DVD you're using is severely scratched, the optical disc drive spins harder than usual in an attempt to read it. If it's incapable of reading the disc, the backup feature may freeze or display an error.

Files are Files are Files. The .raw file type is just a specific method of saving data with a lot of information. The .jpg's are a much more compressed version that really save a lot of space, whether it be on a hard drive or memory card.

You should be able to use your external drives much like a memory card or internal hard drive. You should be able to move files from one drive to another, deleting or copying files wherever you feel necessary. There will be no loss of quality if you move a file from point A to point B.

If you are getting a corrupted data message you can try to run disk cleanup on the drive to see if this fixes the problem.

If this does not fix the problem then you will need to backup your files off the drive and do a full format. If you still have trouble after formatting the drive this is a sign that the drive is failing.

In this case you should use data recovery software to recover the files and data.

http://www.z-a-recovery.com/unformat-tutorial.htm

This tutorial describes the procedure to recover one volume when

• the volume was accidentally formatted
• Windows reports the volume is "raw filesystem", or "not formatted"
• An external drive failed, either flash (so called "thumb drive") or an hard disk connected using USB or FireWire enclosure.
• MFT is corrupt on the NTFS volume, rendering filesystem partially or completely unreadable

The recovery is done in seven steps, requiring about eleven (11) mouse clicks. Note: The older than current versions of ZAR might have been used to create the screenshots in this tutorial. We did not update the screenshots if there is no significant difference between older and current versions. If you see some option in the program which is not described in the tutorial, just leave it at its default setting.

Step 1 - Get, install, and start ZAR
Download and install ZAR just like you do with any regular program.
When you run it, ZAR displays the window like the one below:

1. Click "Next >>"

Step 2 - Select processing mode

1. Select "Recover data from a simple volume or from a functional RAID volume"
2. Click "Next >>"

Step 3 - Select physical device to recover

1. Select the appropriate hard drive
2. Click "Next >>" for a list of volumes (logical disks) on this hard drive

I have the same problem can some one help Please Please!
