Data Recovery

The worst possible thing that can happen when dealing with computers is losing your data. If you computer dies, you can always buy a new computer. If you get a virus, you can just have it fixed. But you lose your data, there is no fix, no way to replace it. Fortunately, even if your computer dies or gets a virus, and even if your hard drive becomes corrupt, we can help save your data. CheriCalvert.com partners with YoBoGo Computer Consulting for data recovery services.

Different levels of Data Recovery:

Level 0: commonly referred to as data restoring. If you have a current back-up (or copy) of your data, we can use it to restore the data on your computer. In a case like this, the data and the hard drive have not been harmed, you just need your data transferred to your system.

Level 1: when your hard drive is recognized by the system but you can’t access the files you want. Causes include when your data is on a working hard drive, but can’t be read directly into your PC.

Level 2: when your drive appears to your computer system as corrupt, as incorrect drive size, or has bad sectors. Hard drive file system must first by repaired or rebuilt prior to data recovery.

Level 3: when you hear clicking or other unusual sounds, the platters aren’t spinning or the drive isn’t recognized by the computer. Sometimes this can be repaired by replacing the circuit board or firmware, but many times this will require work inside of a clean room to remove covers and seals to repair a drive head stuck to a platter surface, realign heads or clean platter surfaces.

Level 4: extensive procedures are done in a clean room, including replacing read heads or transplanting platters, then mounting and precisely aligning the parts. This level of work is needed when the platters are damaged from excessive heat (fire), or the spindle motor seizes (is frozen) or is contaminated by foreign materials, including water.
