Hard Drive Recovery

It happens to most of us. Suddenly you are unable to access your files, your music, your pictures. You realize you should have backed up your data more frequently. There is hope. CRC Computer Center has the tools, knowledge and capability to repair your media and retrieve your data with one of the highest success rates in the world. Whether your data is on a hard drive that was dropped or damaged from a surge or in an iPod that simply died we can get your data back quickly and effectively.

Physical vs. Logical Recovery

We specialize in physical recovery. Physical crashes typically involve damaged or defective parts within the hard drive. A physical crash is often characterized by clicking or grinding sounds from the drive, a dead or unrecognized drive or by actual damage such as a drop, fire, water, surge, blackout and so on. The other type of data loss can simply be a logical crash and that only affects the data. Logical crashes are often caused by a lost or damaged partition table, sabotage, bad software or a virus attack to the boot sector of the drive. In such cases the drive sounds absolutely normal but the computer cannot boot or asks the user to format the drive.

Laptop Drive Recovery

Laptop (notebook) hard drives are our specialty. With an extremely high success rate CRC Computer Center has the tools, experience, in-depth knowledge and parts needed to repair and recover damaged laptop hard drives. Whether you have a Dell, Toshiba or an Apple, whether you run Windows, Linux or Mac OS, we can recover your data quickly and effectively and have your laptop up and running quickly.

Undelete Lost Data

Sometimes data gets deleted accidentally or even on purpose by someone who is trying to sabotage an employer or destroy evidence. CRC Computer Center employs a number of techniques designed to "undelete" information. Forensic recovery services are available even if the drive has been completely formatted or overwritten.

Digital Media Recovery

Most people do not realize that they are carrying their data with them almost everywhere they go. Whether you own an MP3 player, iPod, digital camera or smart phone you are carrying files that are precious. In most cases these devices either have tiny hard drives or flash memory that we can access and recover information from. Don’t give up on thousands of dollars worth of lost music files or irreplaceable photos. CRC can get your precious data back. Your data can be moved to CDs or DVDs for safe keeping.

Microsoft OUTLOOK Recovery

Microsoft Outlook is the most widely-used email client software in the world. It is often used not only for emails but also to manage contacts, calendar as well as other tasks. A number of things can go wrong with Outlook including sudden, unexplained halts, restarts and file corruption. Microsoft Outlook limits the size of Personal Folders, PST files and offline folders; OST files to 2GB. When the size of your offline folder (.ost file) or personal folder (PST file) exceeds 2 gigabytes (GB) data corruption may occur. You may start to see frequent errors and eventually not be able to access your emails or contacts at all. Our expert team can recover your emails, contacts, calendar and other outlook information and rebuild them into a new file that you can import back into a fresh installed Outlook client. You can even change the format to be usable on either Mac or PC.

Exchange Server Recovery

CRC Computer Center can recover mailboxes, contacts and calendar directly from Microsoft Exchange Server log files even if the .edb or .stm files are missing or corrupt. If your Exchange Server database will not load, we urge you NOT to attempt to use utility programs such as Eseutil or Isinteg to restore your data. These programs can delete valuable data and eliminate valuable log file data which could normally be used to rebuild the database.

RAID System Failures

Although Redundant Array Of Independent Disks or RAID technology has been available for many years its prevalence has become increasingly significant due to larger operating systems, more robust applications, and a myriad of graphic and sound storage requirements. An increasing number of computers now ship with more than one hard drive and most are in some king of a RAID array. CRC Computer Center recovers and repairs inaccessible data from nearly all forms of RAID systems, workstation, servers and external RAID enclosures. If you have a RAID array with a failed disk it is important to remember NOT to run chkdsk or scandisk. Such built-in operating system utilities are not data recovery tools. Their purpose is to attempt to align certain files in the system so they can be accessed by the operating system. In order to achieve this goal they often delete indexing data, reassign data pointers and destroy data on the drive that may have become ‘raw’ due to a failure. RAIDs are especially susceptible to these utilities because of the striping and redundancy technologies they employ.

Virus Infections

CRC has a great deal of experience in effectively cleaning viruses and worms that are either dormant or actively corrupting files on a PC. Many off-the-shelf Anti-Virus programs can help stop a virus from infecting your computer but once your hard drive gets infected it can be very difficult to clean and quite often files get quarantined and marked for deletion. CRC attempts to isolate the infected files, clean them, repair them and make them useable again. After thoroughly cleaning your hard drive we will include antivirus software (a $30 - $50 value) for free to help keep your computer protected in the future.

Be Careful

If your hard drive is physically or mechanically damaged you may have only one chance to successfully recover data from it. Trying to repair a failed hard drive yourself or even sending it to an unqualified recovery lab can cause irreparable damage to the media of the drive, making data recover nearly impossible. If you hear any unusual noises coming from your hard drive do not attempt to run any sort of recovery software on it. Unusual sounds such as clicking, grinding, loud humming or no noise at all are some of the indicators or physical/mechanical failure and that cannot be repaired by software alone. Do not try to remove the hard drive and open it, hit it, move it or jar it. We recommend turning off your computer and contacting a professional for advice and assistance. The longer a fail hard drive runs the worse the damage can become.
