Hard Disk Data Recovery Services
Hard disk failure can cause immense distress and panic because of the possibility of losing vital data. However, it is essential to note that different types of hard disk failures require different methods of recovery. Specifically, for logical failure, software programs are used to resolve the issue. A vast range of software programs is accessible on the internet either free of charge or with minimum charges; however, it is crucial to test their dependability before using them. These software programs ease the hard disk data recovery process, making it achievable even for individuals with limited computer knowledge.
On the other hand, firmware failure presents a more complicated situation that requires a different approach. In such cases, hardware-based programs and tools are utilized. It is essential to understand that the total capacity of hard drives is divided into two parts – the Service area and the User area. The Service area controls the User area, which is where the user stores the data. For firmware failure, the tools used allow access to the Service area. This area is prone to create bad sectors that are accountable for most drive failures related to firmware faults.
Hard disk crashed? Deleted Files? First steps are critical for successful data recovery!
The data is still there, right?
The data is still there, if you have the means to recover it. What is the most important at this step is not to aggravate the damage. If you have just suffered a loss of access to your files, then the one thing to remember is not to panic!
We can recover lost data in practically all situations, regardless of whether the hard drive has crashed, you reformatted the drive, or erased important files.
But you have to know that modern hard drives are extremely fragile. If you continue using mechanically degrading drive, it can completely damage hard drive platters and make data recovery technically impossible. We had cases when liquid was spilled on a laptop hard drive damaging electronics, but liquid did not get inside the drives. Those cases 100% recoverable! However, unprofessional attempts to reanimate semi-working PCBs lead to creating many bad sectors, making data recovery still possible, but with many corrupt files.
The same happens when files are accidentally erased from a hard drive. When you deleted a file, it is not wiped from the hard drive completely. Only the pointer gets removed that is indexing to the deleted file. Due to this, that space is marked as a free space and ready to be used by another file. Therefore, it is always advisable not to access the drive after deletion. Since modern running OS does a lot of work in the background it is better to shut down the system completely to prevent important files being overwritten.
There’s a very thin difference between getting all your data back and completely unrecoverable system in some cases. Don’t be that statistic! If you are not sure, please call us first before doing anything. That may save your files and make recovery the best possible in the circumstances.
What you should do right now:
Turn off computer or affected hardware.
How to recognize hard drive failure
Common Hard Drive crash symptoms:
- Disappearing files
- Computer freezing or slow
- Hard drive reports i/o errors, bad sectors
- Clicking sound, Unusual noise like knocking, screeching or scraping
- Smell of burned electronics, drive smoking
- Operating system crash
- Hard drive is not visible by computer
- Hard drive does not mount, drive not recognized
- Windows Disk Management shows partition as RAW
- Hard drive has been dropped
- Hard drive damage from fire or flood
- Drive not spinning (no power)
- Corrupt or damaged firmware
If your hard drive is clicking or making unusual noises, we strongly discourage you to turn your system on. We ask you to NOT OPEN YOUR HARD DRIVE under any circumstances. Do not make rushed decisions opening a hard drive as you will let dust from regular environment inside. It can irreversibly destroy hard drive platters, which can make it unrecoverable. Remember that modern drives are extremely fragile.
We have performed thousands of successful recoveries from all hard drive manufacturers including Western Digital(WD), Seagate, Samsung, Toshiba, Fujitsu, Hitachi, Maxtor, and others. We consistently recover files from hard drives claimed by other companies as "unrecoverable".
