What went wrong?
The issue is going to be one of two things:
-
Software – where the operating system is corrupt so the computer will not boot.
-
Hardware – where a physical break down has occurred.
Depending on the failure, there are a number of procedures we attempt to recover you data.
Software
There are three common type of software problem, known as logical failures:
-
Operating Systems (OS) Failure – where the system files have been removed or replaced by a virus, spyware or a simple upgrade.
-
Disk-Level Failure – where the structure of the disk is not correct. For instance, a bit like when the pages of a book are not in the correct order.
-
Accidental Deletion – where the files have been deleted either by a person of a virus.
If the problem is software related we can opt to do one of the following:
-
Repair the operating system. Data recovery is not usually needed at this stage.
-
Install a second copy of the operating system to enable the data to be recovered and backup up onto a DVD or external hard drive.
-
Remove the hard disk from the computer and install it into a donor computer. From here we can then recover the data and take a backup of the data onto DVD or external hard drive..
These type of fixes are typically quick.
Hardware
There are a variety of hardware failures that cause physical damage to storage:
-
Hard Disk Drives – suffer several mechanical failures, such as head crashes and failed motors
-
DVDs and CDs – get scratched or the recording surface gets damaged
-
External Drives – get dropped and the cases get damaged
It is important to note that physical damage always results in some data loss.
If the breakdown is a result of a hardware failure we:
-
Isolate the bit of equipment within the computer that has malfunctioned and replace it. It may be as simple as replacing the Power Supply and you are back up and running.
-
Remove the hard disk from the computer and install it into a donor computer. From here we are usually able to recover your data with a few simply procedures.
Hardware fixes can be either very easy or very hard. But if we can’t fix it, you don’t pay under our No Fix, No Fee policy.
Worst Case – A disk crash
This is a big problem with a hardware failure because it is the actual hard drive that has failed completely. In some instances we are able to run an in-depth repair on the disk but the worst case scenario is a “head crash” and the damage sustained is not easily repaired. In these circumstances we will offer you the opportunity to send it off to a data repair Laboratory
Backup Solutions
Backing up data files is one of the most overlooked aspects of home computing. If disaster strikes at home, household insurance covers replacing your home but it can’t replace your memories.
There are many ways you can unintentionally lose information on a computer: people delete files, a sudden power outage, equipment fail or, at worst, a house fire.
The reality is that you might think that you don’t really have anything worth backing up, but what about:
-
Photos – this is probably the most important data you could lose.
-
Internet Favourites – how large is your list of bookmarks?
-
Email Addresses– All your photographs do not need to stay hidden on your PC. Enjoy your memories popping up while you listen to music or simply view them together as a group.
-
Old Emails – you could lose contact with an old acquaintance.
-
Your CV – how long would that take to retype?
Whilst some if the data can be recovered from other sources, valuable and irreplaceable data like photographs could be lost forever.
Don’t Panic
The good news is that if you backup your data regularly and keep it in a safe place, you can get your data back if something happens to your computer quite often we are asked to rescue lost data. Our Data Recovery Service can recover data from many types of failure but we cannot help when the PC has been stolen or suffered catastrophic hardware damage.
We can advise you on the best way to protect your data so call us today. Whether you choose a Storage Server or opt for an internet back up service. Never again will you need to worry about losing data.
How do I backup my PC?
We can set up a backup routine on your PC in three different ways. Starting with the most cost effective:
-
Good: Connected Hard Drive – by using an external hard drive attached to your computer we can use either commercial or free software to backup your critical data,
-
Better: Storage Server – a Storage Server allows the entire household to utilise a central secure storage area to backup and share data.
-
Best: Internet (Cloud) based Storage – by using a broadband connection we can set up an automatic secure (and encrypted) backup using the internet.
There is a fourth method of backing up to your PC locally but it’ is a method we do not enforce because it only protects against a file being deleted and not against damage to the PC or Laptop.
