Hard Drive Recovery
We can help you with advanced data recovery and digital forensic investigations from all types of hard drives, including PC, laptop, SCSI, SAS, SSD and USB hard drives - irrespective of the condition of the media and/or potential data loss situation.
Whether your hard drive suffers from an electro-mechanical (hardware) failure, ransomware attack or logical (software) failure, our team of professionals will do everything possible to help you recover or investigate your lost data.
We Recover And Investigate Data From These, And All Other Crashed Drive Symptoms And Error Messages:
Some everyday situations and error messages that would suggest that your drive might be suffering from one or more failures or other potential data loss scenarios:

- Your hard drive was detected by the BIOS/operating system but reported as unreadable.
- Your hard drive makes strange/funny sounds when power is applied.
- The hard disk drive is not spinning despite power being applied.
- Primary hard disk failure / Secondary hard disk failure.
- Cannot read from the source file or disk
- Inaccessible boot device.

- Disk error: press any key.
- The device is not ready, reading drive "X".
- Operating system not found/missing operating system.
- The BIOS recognizes the drive but with garbage parameters.
- The BIOS recognizes the drive, but the data is inaccessible.
- The drive reports bad sectors.
- NTLDR is missing; press any key to restart.
- Replace the disk and press any key to continue.
- The drive reads some data but reports cyclic redundancy checking (crc) errors.
