Personal computers,
workstations, laptops, PDA's and even digital
cameras that store data on hard drives, removable
magnetic media, magneto-optical disks or flash RAM
cards, all suffer from the same failures, some of
which are:

If the media is inaccessible we
will first test the components and closely examine
the drive platters to determine the extent of
physical damage, which enables us to layout a course
of action for each individual drive. Hard drive data
recovery involves replacing failed components such
as read/write head assemblies, logic control
components and drive motors in a clean room
environment. In most cases, the recovery process
involves restructuring of the data by examining the
low-level data sectors and determining what fixes to
file system structures are needed to gain access to
the logical data. Using highly sophisticated
techniques and proprietary equipment and software,
our engineers are able to fix and recover data from
raw images of all operating systems. We use only
non-destructive data recovery processes that use
drive sector cloning. This means we pull data from
your drive on a sector by sector basis, and we work
directly on the clone. This will ensure your drive
is not damaged further and that a second image of
the original structure can be acquired if needed.
After determining what steps will
be necessary to complete your recovery, we will
contact you for your approval. No work will be done
without your approval. As soon as you approve the
recovery, our technicians) will continue with the
recovery effort, validate the data and place it on a
suitable replacement media, whether that is another
drive, CD-ROM, DVD, any other media of your choice.

NOTE: All branded storage media
have a chance of a successful recovery.
