Don't worry. We have the tools and training to
recover your data. No charge unless we help - and we will.
Read below if you wish to understand causes and
solutions. We like to inform customers.
Lost data is due to a
specific series of problems, logical or hardware; we can help with both.
On the logical side, your disk's file allocation
table may have become corrupted or you may have simply misplaced a file. For
the former, we have the tools to search your hard drive beneath and even
without the operating system. In other words we can look, sector by sector,
across the physical disk, for your data.
This capacity is also useful if you have
overwritten a large file called "mynovel.doc" with a much smaller file of
the same name ; we can locate the "lost" bulk of the novel. Do not (!) write
anything to the disk as you're waiting for us to arrive.
Have you
erased your drive , re-formatted it or mistakenly re-partitioned it ? We can
recover your data in all these cases, but again DO NOT
write anything to the drive before we arrive. This only decreases the
chances for successful recovery as lost sections of the disk are seen by the
operating system as open areas for re-use.
On the hardware side;
damaged sectors of your disk are often causes for startup failure. While you
could put another copy of the operating system on, we have tools that can
save unreadable sectors and nondestructively reformat the hard drive; we
have found this a common cure to what appear to be catastrophic hardware
failures.
If we determine gross
physical disk failure (they are, after all, merely spinning platters of magnetic
media on ball bearings) we will refer to you to the best repair labs in the
country. These clean room methods are far more expensive than our rates, and we have
found that often customers will abandon their data rather than go this
route.
Access to data is often lost
due to viral attacks. We can assist here as well.
We have recovered data for hundreds of clients, for
15 years, and these are only a few of our recovery methods.
