If it is just your USB HDD that has gone faulty, you can certainly recover the data depending to what extent it is damaged. You can try some free data recovery tools available online. If this does not help, you may have to consult professional data recovery company for the same. I had used Drive Savers and they did the job pretty well.

We have UPS in-built invertor at home. There is another UPS which is connected to my PC. Many times while using high voltage electronic items, we keep our invertor switched off. So to provide back up at those times, we have kept this second UPS. This set up is there since last 2 yrs and we didnt face any problem whatsoever. But nowadays what is happenning is like many times current goes off for fraction of a second and as a result of which my PC turned off by itself. But when current goes off normally, no harm is done on PC and it continues working. Now I dont know whats wrong there or is it there something wrong with UPS or invertor?
