Step 1 Turn Off Your Computer
In the event of a hardware failure our recommendation is that you power down your computer to ensure that there is no further damage caused which may impede the data recovery process.
-
Step 2 Risks of DIY Recovery
We strongly advise against running third-party recovery software or disk utilities as these can often make an already difficult problem much worse.

We strongly advise against trying to solve the problem yourself to salvage data if the files are valuable. The longer the hard drive is on, the greater the chances of further damage and the chances of file recovery reduce. We recommend using a professional data recovery service and cleanroom Data recovery lab service area to rescue disc data. Disk Partition Recovery is best performed by an expert using a data recovery technique called MFSTM (Magnetic Force Scanning Tunnelling Microscopy), rather than a Recovery utility program or free file recovery software. Where valuable files have been accidentally deleted, we can recover these with Undeletion techniques.
We also provide a computer forensics expert service for recovery of Crypto-shredded, encrypted, hidden file or hidden directory. These are common in cases of virus attacks or ransomware.
Data Recovery has four main phases depending on the type of hard drive damage or data corruption.
Phase 1
Repair the hard disk drive to an operational state to make the data readable which may require parts to be replaced, repaired or fixed.
Phase 2
Create an identical image of the failed hard drive to prevent further data loss. The preserved source drive can be copied repeatedly if required, and the copy is always worked on. This is a crucial part of the data recovery process for ensuring Data curation and file Data preservation.
Phase 3
The Data archaeology is scanned for cross-linked files (FAT files created when a computer is shut down improperly). The data salvaging process of file carving to establish error detection and correction begins, and root cause analysis on logical recovery of data files. Repair of the partition table or master boot record (MBR) is attempted to read the file systems data structure, essential in the retrieval of stored data.
Phase 4
Reconstruction of the drive sector to make the data readable and Corrupted data can then be recovered or reconstructed, and moved to a new data source device.
Hard Drive Recovery
Most Data Recovery services are related to failed, corrupted or damaged External/Portable or Internal Hard Drives. Hard Disk Drives (HDD) are the secondary storage device for computers, until the more reliable solid-state drives (SSD) with storage density and higher data-transfer rates. Hard Disk Drives are non-volatile electromechanical data storage devices, which even with no power continue to store data. This means that in event of malfunction, system failure, deletion or accidental damage, the salvaging of data files is still possible by partitioning away the OS system files.
Photo Recovery
Photo Data Recovery is very common and we can offer this service for USB Flash Drives, Mobile Phones, Memory Sticks or SD Card Recovery. Picture Recovery services can also include data retrieval of backup photo files on hard-drives. We have successfully performed SD card data recovery in cases of damage, accidental deletion and corruption. With file system fragmentation, on average 16% of JPEGs are fragmented. This means that free photo recovery software is more likely to recover partial files or appear corrupt. Our photo salvage methods give a higher chance of full recovery but fragmentation can still occur.
