Hard drive mechanical failure services

Mechanical failures

If your hard drive is not working or is making clicking or grinding noise, it is experiencing a mechanical failure. This could be due to a head crash or motor failure.

Mechanical failures require a cleanroom environment in order to open the hard drive without causing further data loss. Contact us today to discuss the best recovery options for you.

Logical failures

If your hard drive is working, but you cannot access some or all of your files, then it likely to be experiencing a logical failure. This could be due to a lost partition or accidental reformatting of the drive.

Common logical data loss issues include file deletion, corruption, or file directory damage from a virus or malicious program. If your hard drive is still recognised, you can try using our Ontrack EasyRecovery software to get your data back before sending your device to us.

Tips for increasing data recovery success

  

Power Off

Turn off your computer or storage device to minimise further damage. If the drive continues to operate, you may risk further physical damage to the drive or permanent data loss.

icon

Water damage

Do not dry out your hard drive. Corrosion to the media begins with drying and increases loss of data. Follow these instructions for your wet device and send it to us as soon as possible.

  

Strange noises

Turn off the power. Clicking or grinding noises indicate that the drive might have crashed. This can cause permanent, unrecoverable damage to your files if the drive continues to run.

 

  

Deleted or reformatted

Whether it was an accidental delete, reformat or if your files have gone missing, our DIY data recovery software could help. Download a free trial of the software for a list of recoverable files. If your files can be found, simply purchase the full licence to download the data.

What do you do when your hard drive isn't detected?

Sometimes data storage devices, hard drives, memory cards or USB sticks are not recognised by the operating system, making it impossible to access professional or personal data.

Here is some essential advice about what to do when a drive is not recognised.


Start your data recovery now with a free consultation.

We'll collect your device and perform an evaluation, free of charge.

Data recovery for single drives and smartphones starts from £600.00 (inclusive of VAT). The final price will be determined at the end of the evaluation, according to the complexity of the work involved and the urgency required.

To begin, start by clicking on the type of media from which you need data recovered. The evaluation time for single hard drives (HDD and SSD) is four hours*, and within 24 hours for RAID systems*. Other media, such as mobile phones do not require an evaluation to provide an accurate quotation.

*These are typical time frames and apply within normal business hours (Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm). For an out of hours, emergency service, or for further assistance, please contact us on +44 (0)1372 741999.
