Advanced Data Recovery Melbourne

Hard Drive Data Recovery

Firstly, we sincerely hope that you have back-ups of your most important data so you don’t face losing anything that is important to you. If you have reached this page as you think you may have lost something, the first thing you should do is turn off your computer and call for professional advice. The more you use a drive after you have lost data, the less the chance of data recovery.

Please also take notice of our online backup service which will automatically and securely backup your most important files at intervals that you specific. You can find it here and we strongly encourage to use this to avoid potential data loss in the future.

Standard Data Recovery

If your hard drive or storage can still be read in another computer, then we are able to quickly an easily transfer your data over for you to another computer or device. This is perfect if your computer has failed, but the fault is not related to the hard disk itself. Also, if you have accidently deleted a file by mistake, we can use software tools to recover data for your in most cases.

The same applies to external hard drives that may not be able to be read. Quite often, the problem may lie with the external casing and not the internal hard drive that stores the data. If this has happened to your external device, we can open it up and see if the data can be read and recovered. If not, then you may have a physical fault with your drive that requires special advanced data recovery work to be performed.

Advanced Data Recovery

This work requires dismantling the hard drive to try to fix internal faults, and requires the use of special equipment in a dust proof environment. We work closely with the best data recovery companies in Australia to offer our customers the best chance of recovering data when standard recovery options do not work. Common faults that require advanced data recovery include:

• drives are not able to be detected by any computer
• drives make a ticking or clicking sound
• you have accidently reinstalled Windows
• burn smell coming from the drive or device
• drives that sound of parts grinding together
• drives freeze when accessing data
• data appears corrupted when opening it
