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.  )

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 :)

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.
