How to recover data from a dead hard drive on Windows 11?
I had a similar problem with my hard drive before. It was completely unrecognizable with all the data inside. I tried many methods, such as restarting and changing interfaces, but none of them worked. Later, someone on a forum recommended Aisessoft Data Recovery, which I used and successfully recovered the data.
I get it here (worked for me):

Use Disk Management to check if the drive is detected and assign a new drive letter if necessary:
- Press Win + X and select Disk Management.
- Look for the dead hard drive in the list.
- If detected, right-click and select "Change Drive Letter and Paths," then assign a new letter.
You can also fix file system errors with chkdsk command. These are very helpful steps to help you recover data from dead hard drive for Windows based PCs and laptops.
