Windows 10: Restore software that boots to itself

My wife's dell notebook hard drive crashed, a Toshiba MQ01ABF050 500mb
I have been unable to use any normal recovery tools in Windows
Is there recovery software that I can boot to and use bypassing everything else altogether?
I think the drive is recoverable but would like to do it myself if possible

The drive clicks when powered on and I get the windows 'ding-dong' found device sound
but either no drive ever shows up in windows explorer or an empty drive shows up

Restoring Windows 10 Image using Macrium Reflect


In addition to the above. Here's my suggestion in step by step.
I assume you have Macrium Installed in your current HD and already made a backup copy.

• Connect your new HD via USB port and boot up.
• Run Macrium, click on Restore tab then select the Backup Image that you made to restore
• click on "select a different target disk" then select your new HD as destination
  
  
  
• Proceed to restore then Shutdown and disconnect the old HD and replace with the new HD
• Boot up with your new HD.

Windows 10 1709 System Restore problems...


That seems to be an attempt at Option 2 in the tutorial, which requires you to
a. Boot to a command prompt (Did you?)
b. You then seem to be mixing steps 3,4 and 5, thus your command is incorrect.

I suggest Option 1 is easier.

If you still have problems, please repost listing each specific step and saying which option from the tutorial you are using. Thanks.
