What should you do when your hard drive fails?<\/h2>\n

If you are one of the unfortunate many who haven’t taken precautions with a backup, then you’re most likely going to need professional help. That’s especially true if the data in question is valuable and hard or impossible to recreate.<\/p>\n

There are thousands of places in the world that attempt data recovery, from your tech-hobbyist neighbor to local computer repair shops to many different professional data recovery companies.<\/p>\n

Just like any other profession, it’s not a level playing field. Prices, and capability, are all over the map.<\/p>\n

In fact, as a pioneer of data recovery since 1985, DriveSavers has the most experience and the best resource for information on this subject.<\/p>\n

Questions you should be ready to answer<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. What type of device or devices has failed?<\/li>\n
  2. What data would be important to recover? Do you know the specific types of files and the names of any folders\/directories they are supposed to be in?<\/li>\n
  3. How and when did the failure occur? What were the symptoms?<\/li>\n
  4. What, if anything, has already been done to try and recover your data?<\/li>\n
  5. What is the storage capacity of the failed device?<\/li>\n
  6. What operating system was used with the device that failed?<\/li>\n
  7. Is the data time sensitive? Is there any specific deadline for returning the data?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    How to Proceed<\/h2>\n

    We’ve worked out much of the details over the years to help customers navigate this process.<\/p>\n

    In many cases, the first step toward recovery is a free evaluation. This no-cost checkup gives our data recovery engineers the opportunity to examine the equipment in order to determine recoverability and pricing.<\/p>\n
