INFORMATION: You may need data recovered or restored from various types of storage devices for a number of reasons such as physical damage or you may accidentally deleted pictures or documents' etc. Depending on what type of problem you have this will influence the cost of recovery.

There are two main types or categories when considering data recovery. One is a hardware type and the other is software type problem. The main difference between the two is that the hardware type problem is generally a physical issue normally causing the device to stop working or communicating, for example you may have a memory stick with a snapped USB connector or you may have a hard disk that has been accidentally dropped and now makes a clicking sound when trying to turn the device on but does not initialise when connected to a computer or laptop as apposed to the software issue which is generally a technical issue, where by the storage device is physically operational, even if not accessible.

TYPES OF PROBLEMS: Typical issues we are faced with as a professional recovery service provider would be HARDWARE TYPE fall or knock damage to the device, wear or worn out devices, water damage, power surge SOFTWARE corruption, virus, malicious damage, (hacker or ex-girlfriend :) ) computer wont power on, deleted files etc.

WAYS TO SPOT DAMAGE OR PREVENT DAMAGE: There are no real specific or definitive methods for a home user to know if their storage device is about to fail. In some cases you may notice the drive becoming unusually hot or making a whining noise but again this is not proof your drive is about to fail, there are certain commands and ways to find issues etc but this is really the work of a trained or skilled professional. There is one system feature commonly available for hard disk types of storage know as SMART (Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology) this is usually a feature activated in your desktop or laptop computers BIOS system which will then attempt to warn you in advance of a hard drive failure.

WHAT TO DO : WHAT TO DO The first thing to do in the event you have any type of problem with your storage device is to turn it off and stop using it immediately. The reason for this is that in the event you have deleted a file from you computer, generally speaking the area of the storage device where your file is actually stored will only be marked as available for new storage to the computer. The data is not destroyed until it comes a time where that area is used again for storing new information so it is very important to stop using the device immediately. Or in the case of a physical problem with a hard disk you risk doing further damage due to there being moving parts inside the drive.
