Hardware Support

Recovery of data from damaged hard drives


Have you ever been told
  • All data is lost
  • There is no option but to fit a new drive
  • The software must be re-installed
  • A virus has wiped all the files

There is always a chance that the data is in fact still there.
It is that the people you have spoken with do not have the skill to recover the data.
AND THERE ARE NO GUARANTEED RESULTS


I can offer hope
  • There is always a chance data could be recovered
  • It is a task requiring great care and patience
  • This is a "Black Art", do not ask questions.
  • I only charge for success, no success, no fee
  • There is no quick answer, it can take days to recover data
  • Minimum fee would be £60
  • You deliver the drive to me, with any hardware I feel necessary and collect it afterwards.
    Hence you pay all carriage costs.

What it costs

It is not possible to give an exact cost here

Each case is different

I may need to buy in specialist controllers and hardware

No success, no fee (though you may be asked to buy components)

Typical costs

  • 20GB IDE Drive, powers up, recognised by BIOS but does not boot £60
  • 20GB IDE Drive, virus affected files. £80
  • 20GB IDE Drive, damaged File table. Files copied onto CD. £150
  • 40GB IDE Drive, does not power up. Over £200
  • 400GB SATA Drive, virus affected files. £120
