Corrupt Data Recovery

Good grief! My data is missing! What in the world should I do? If this situation ever happens to you when your files get corrupted or deleted because of bad hardware, software or by some mistake, here are some things to remember.

First, don't panic. Your files can probably be recovered. Just DON'T do any of these things:

1) Don't use the device at all This includes drives, storage devices, camera or cell phone cards, iPod, CDs or other similar media.

2) Don't install or run any programs.

3) Don't use the browser to go on the internet

4) Don't use any tools which reside on the computer

What you want to avoid is overwriting files. That will happen if you do any of these four things. Once that happens, the data can no longer be recovered.

Depending on the type of data missing or corrupted or if the data is extremely important, we suggest you seek the help of a professional that specializes in data recovery. Better safe than sorry.

You need to ask the following questions before turning your data over to just anyone. You should receive something close to these answers.

Only deal with professionals who are experts in data recovery. The answers to these questions will let you know whether or not the company you're talking to can be trusted.

Do you do data recovery?

The key question. Your aim is to make certain that you are entrusting your data to someone who does data recovery and not just to a technician. If the person replies other than "Yes.", you're probably not dealing with a genuine recovery expert. Hardware failures often get mis-diagnosed as software failures. Many times we've seen a hard drive have recovery programs run on it and go from readily recoverable to a total loss. Always go directly to the person who can prevent this from happening.

Do you have a clean room?

If the person doesn't answer immediately without equivocating, RUN! Just a small bit of dust can totally ruin your drive. So, the work absolutely needs to be done in a dust free room if opening the drive is required. Hard drives are vacuum sealed for a purpose.

Can you repair a clicking hard drive?

Clicking hard drives are among the most difficult hard drive recovery problems. Make certain that the person is competent in the most severe types of hard drive failures. If the person you're talking to is capable of dealing with a clicking hard drive, then he or she should have no problem with almost any other kind of failure. If your your data is important, you should have no doubt in the capabilities the person doing the work.

Do you charge for quotes?

All serious data recovery services will give free quotes. If you just let the person know what happened to the drive and the symptoms that it exhibits, they should be able to give you a good estimate as to the recoverability of the drive and the approximate cost. If you have no clue as to what is wrong and they have answered the other questions satisfactorily, just send the drive in to get looked at.

How much will this cost if I can't get data back?

The answer to this should be NOTHING!

A trustworthy data recovery lab is absolutely critical to the recovery odds of your hard drive. If in doubt, keep looking.
