Hard drive data recovery:
Laptop Store specializes in hard drive recovery from physical and logical damage due to mechanical and electrical failure, software corruption or human error.
- Computers that won’t boot
- Inaccessible drives and partitions
- Applications that are unable to run or load data
- Corrupted data and viruses
- Hard drive component failure (Clicking noise, HD not spinning)
- Hard drive crashes
- Fire & water damage to the drive
- Media surface disk contamination and damage
- Accidental reformatting of partitions of the hard drive volumes
- Accidental deletion of data
Recovery of crashed hard disks often involves working on the medium in a clean room environment and using specialized hardware and software tools to create the raw image. Failed components typically include electronics, read/write heads, head assemblies, magnets & drive motors.
Symptoms of a Physical Hard Drive Failure
There are a number of warning factors that can alert you to a physical drive failure. These include:
· Drive shows as "Not Initialized" in Windows Disk Management;
· Drive not spinning (no power);
· An excessively hot drive;
· An abnormal ticking noise whilst the drive is reading data;
· A loud clicking or grinding noise.
Logical data recovery uses the raw image by examining the low-level data sectors and determining what fixes to file system structures are needed to get access to the important data. Sometimes the existing file system structures are missing or damaged so much that data has to be extracted directly from one or more fragments of the raw image.
SSD Hard Drive Data Recovery
Data Recovery from SSD Hard Drive is one of our many specialties at laptop store With years or research, development and reverse engineering we managed to recover data from SSD hard drives such as Samsung, OCZ, Intel etc.
1. Bad electronics, SSD drive not recognized by the bios
2. Bad controller
3. Inaccessible drives and partitions
4. Corrupted data from file system corruption, virus etc.
5. Hard disk crashes
6. Fire & water damage (Water spill or laptop got dropped to the water)
7. Accidental reformatting of partitions
8. Accidental deletion of data
Once a recovery has been successfully performed, file lists are created and data validity and integrity is checked.
The recovery results will be submitted to the customer, as part of our verification of a successful recovery process.
We will supply the recovered data on whatever medium the customer specifies.
