Data Recovery Process: Step by Step, From Free Evaluation to Your Files Back
Get Your Data Back, Step by Step
Free evaluation. No obligation quote. No recovery, no charge.
Our 8-Step Recovery Process
We guide you through every stage with complete visibility, live Zoom verification, and zero financial risk.
1. Free Evaluation
Contact us online or call to discuss your storage media issue. We gather device details, discuss the failure symptoms, and provide free initial consultation with a prepaid shipping label or in-person drop-off instructions.
2. No-Obligation Quote
After our diagnostic inspection, we give you a transparent, guaranteed flat-rate price quote and an estimated turnaround time. You decide whether to proceed with zero obligation.
3. Safe Handling and Diagnosis
Your drive is handled under strict ESD precautions. We connect it to specialized hardware diagnostic tools using write-blockers to prevent any modification to your original data.
4. Recovery Plan
To recover a hard drive with failed heads we replace the heads, which requires donor parts; when platter degradation is severe we focus on recovering the most critical folders.
5. Data Extraction and Imaging
We perform a safe, bit-by-bit raw sector clone to an air-gapped target media. Our engineers repair corrupted file structures, rebuild file tables, and extract your files from the cloned image.
6. Verification by Zoom
We host a live Zoom meeting with you to screen-share the recovered directory tree. You inspect your recovered documents, photos, databases, and critical folders to ensure everything is verified.
7. Approval and Payment
Payment is required only if the most critical folders you identify are recovered. You are charged only if satisfied. No recovery, no charge.
8. Data Return
Your recovered data is securely transferred onto a brand-new encrypted external drive or healthy drive you provide. We pack and ship it via tracked courier or provide local lab pickup.
Our Pricing Promise
No hidden fees, no deceptive quotes, and no charges for unsuccessful recoveries.
Donor Parts & Targeted Focus
Head replacement needs donor parts; with severe platter degradation we focus on recovering the most critical folders.
Pay Only If Satisfied
Payment is required only if the most critical folders you identify are recovered. We show the recovered files on a Zoom meeting so you can verify them. You are charged only if satisfied. No recovery, no charge.
All-Inclusive Scope
The price covers the recovery work, including parts and labor. Tax and a destination drive are additional charges. You can provide your own drive for the data transfer.

Inside The Recovery Lab
Watch how our engineers inspect failing media, perform Class 100 cleanroom surgery, and extract vital files under laboratory conditions.
Tips While You Wait
Protect your data and maximize the chances of a complete retrieval by following these essential guidelines.
Stop using the drive
Disconnect power immediately. Continued operation stresses failing components and can grind the magnetic platter surface.
Don't open it
Never remove hard drive screws outside a Class 100 cleanroom environment. Microscopic dust in regular room air will cause permanent platter scoring.
Don't run repair tools
Avoid utilities like CHKDSK, fsck, or commercial disk recovery software. They write data to damaged areas and overwrite lost files.
List your most important folders
Make a brief list of the folders, filenames, or specific file extensions that matter most so our engineers can prioritize them during imaging.
