Explanation:

I will consult the following strategies:

Step 1: Being a discerning consultant I should be knowing what exactly has caused the drive to get corrupted.

Step 2: After examining the current state of the hard drive I will explain the actual problem to the client in a very lucid and eloquent manner whether it is feasible to retrieve the lost data or it is beyond repair.

Step 3: Identify a solution to the problem with things at my disposal(finding a right tool).

Step 4: apply the solution found to retrieve the data from the hard drive.

Step 5: submitting the retrieved data from the corrupt drive to the customer and advocating them the preventive measures for future reference.
