What's Data Recovery
In computing, data recovery is a process of salvaging (retrieving) inaccessible, lost, corrupted, damaged, or formatted data from secondary storage, removable media, or files when cannot access the data stored in them in a usual way. The data is most often salvaged from storage media such as internal or external hard disk drives (HDDs), solid-state drives (SSDs), USB flash drives, and other electronic devices. Recovery may be required due to physical damage to the storage devices or logical damage to the file system that prevents it from being mounted by the host operating system (OS).
Don't Miss Out
The most common data recovery scenario involves an operating system failure, malfunction of a storage device, logical failure of storage devices, accidental damage or deletion, etc. (typically, on a single-drive, single-partition, single-OS system), in which case the ultimate goal is to copy all important files from the damaged media to another new drive. This can be easily accomplished using a Live CD or DVD by booting directly from a ROM instead of the corrupted drive in question. Many Live CDs or DVDs provide a means to mount the system drive and backup drives or removable media and move the files from the system drive to the backup media with a file manager or optical disc authoring software. Such cases can often be mitigated by disk partitioning and consistently storing valuable data files (or copies of them) on a different partition from the replaceable OS system files.
hard disk drive failure
drive-level failure
Another scenario involves a drive-level failure, such as a compromised file system or drive partition, or a hard disk drive failure. In any of these cases, the data is not easily read from the media devices. Depending on the situation, solutions involve repairing the logical file system, partition table, or master boot record, or updating the firmware or drive recovery techniques ranging from software-based recovery of corrupted data, hardware- and software-based recovery of damaged service areas (also known as the hard disk drive’s “firmware”), to hardware replacement on a physically damaged drive which allows for the extraction of data to a new drive. If a drive recovery is necessary, the drive itself has typically failed permanently, and the focus is rather on a one-time recovery, salvaging whatever can read data.
Deleted files from storage
by the users
In a third scenario, files have been accidentally “deleted” from a storage medium by the users. Typically, the contents of deleted files are not removed immediately from the physical drive; instead, references to them in the directory structure are removed. Thereafter space the deleted data occupy is made available for later data overwriting. Deleted files cannot be discoverable through a standard file manager in the mind of end-users, but the deleted data still technically exists on the physical drive. In the meantime, the original file contents remain, often in many disconnected fragments, and maybe recoverable if not overwritten by other data files.
WE'LL RECOVER YOUR DATA
WITHOUT EXPENSIVE OUTSOURCING
Giving a price without seeing the device, assessing its condition is impossible. Everyone feels better having some basic idea of what things may cost, so for a basic idea, see below. Do realize the + means the price can go up! Please do note that drives that have been opened before are rarely, if ever, recoverable by us: mention this before sending it in as we rarely work on pre-worked on drives.
