Mechanical Failures
If your hard drive is not working or is making clicking and/or grinding noise, it is experiencing a mechanical failure. This could be due to a head crash and/or motor failure.
Mechanical failures require a cleanroom environment in order to open the hard drive without causing further potential data loss. Contact one of our Data Recovery Professionals today to discuss the best recovery options for you.
Hard drive data recovery software.
If your hard drive is working, but you cannot access some or all of your files, then it is 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 recognized, you can try using our Ontrack EasyRecovery software to get your data back before sending your device to us.

Water Damage
Strange Noises
Turn off the power. If your hard drive is making strange clicking or grinding noises, this is a sign that your drive might have experienced a head crash and is not reading the data correctly. A head crash can result in permanent, unrecoverable damage to your files if the drive continues to run.
Reformatted or Deleted Files
Whether it was an accidental delete or if your files have gone missing, our DIY data recovery software might be your answer. Download a free trial of the software for a list of recoverable files.
