Data Recovery for Failed, Deleted and Damaged Storage
Data can be lost through a crashed or clicking hard disk, accidental deletion or formatting, virus attacks, software problems, power surges, or damage from water and fire. Our team handles both logical problems and physical faults.
We check the device and symptoms before discussing recovery options. Recovery success depends on the device, the type of damage and any earlier recovery attempts.
Common Data Loss Problems We Handle
Each fault needs a different approach. Here is what we see most often and how it affects recovery.
Clicking or beeping drive
Usually a read/write head or motor fault. The fewer times the drive is powered on after the noise starts, the better the chances.
Drive not detected
The disk spins but does not show in BIOS or Windows, shows the wrong size or freezes the computer. Often a firmware or PCB problem.
Dropped or physically damaged
A fall can damage the heads or platters. The drive needs inspection before any further power-on.
Dead after a power surge
No sound, no spin or a burning smell after a surge or wrong adapter. The electronics are checked first.
Bad sectors and slow copying
The drive still opens but copies very slowly or stops. It is imaged carefully so data is read while it still can be.
Deleted, formatted or lost partition
Accidental deletion, a format, a reinstall or a missing partition on an otherwise healthy disk.
Water or fire damage
Drives and devices exposed to liquid, flood or heat. Do not dry or power them on before assessment.
Virus or ransomware
Files encrypted, hidden or corrupted by malware on laptops, desktops, pen drives or servers.
SSD, pen drive and memory card failure
Flash storage that is not detected, read-only, RAW or asking to be formatted.

What to Do When a Drive Fails
The first few minutes after a failure often decide how much data can be saved.
Do this
- Switch the device off and leave it off
- Note what happened and when it started
- Keep the original cable, enclosure or adapter
- Tell us if any recovery software has already been used
- Pack the drive in a padded box if sending it
Do not do this
- Do not keep powering it on to test it
- Do not run recovery software on a clicking drive
- Do not format it, even if Windows asks
- Do not open the drive or its casing
- Do not freeze, tap or shake the drive
