Before reading this, disconnect your faulty hard drive now. Further
use can cause more damage.
We understand how important your data is and in most cases we can
recovery your lost/deleted files - even if you have formatted your
hard drive.
Do you backup your data? If not, we can provide you with a backup
solution.
Tick of Death?
If you heard your hard drive making a ticking noise, you have a
hardware issue (disconnect your hard drive right away), which is
costly to fix - but in most cases we can recovery your data.
Why Choose Data Recovery & Backup Solutions for South Gundurimba?
South Gundurimba data recovery is not an IT job! It is a foresnsic job.
There
are only a few locations that have the required expensive
equipment (i.e. class 100 cleanroom and specialised imager):
Large companies based in the cities such as Brisbane, Sydney,
Canberra, Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth, Darwin and Hobart that
are very expensive (due to large overheads), and companies like
us with a small team of talent individuals with a wealth of
experience and knowledge.
Data Recovery & Backup Solutions for South Gundurimba are a small team of highly skilled engineers that are based on the Gold Coast, so our prices can not be beaten. Please be cautious of general computer repair shops offering data recovery services, since they generally just download a data recovery software program to recover the data, which is only good for software issues. Most data recovery issues are electronic or mechanical issues, so using a software data recovery program, will just cause more issues with the drive, and therefore increase the difficulty/cost of recovering your data.

Types of Hard Drive Failure (Forensic Scale)
-
Level 1 - Logical: No physical damage, Logical
minor file system corruption as a result of a possible windows
update, user error or possible virus.
-
Level 2 - Mechanical/Logical: Disk with up to
1% of bad sectors and a corrupted file system as a result of the
bad sectors.
-
Level 3 - Mechanical/Logical: Disk with up to
5% of bad sectors and a corrupted file system as a result of the
bad sectors.
-
Level 4 - Mechanical/Logical: Disk with up to
10% of bad sectors and a corrupted file system as a result of
the bad sectors. Or a disk without bad sectors but with a
massive logical corruption of the file system and possibly
overwritten data, etc.
-
Level 5 - Firmware/Mechanical/Electronic:
Disk with corrupted firmware modules and with at least 1% of bad
sectors and a corrupted file system as a result of the bad
sectors. Or a disk without physical damage but with disk
encryption applied and underlying file system corruption. This
level also covers electronic faults of the board PCB.
-
Level 6 - Physical/Mechanical/Firmware: clean
room job for physically damaged drive with either R/W heads
stiction condition, or with at least one faulty R/W in the
stack. In most of the cases these drives will also show bad
sectors and possibly firmware corruption and file system
corruption.
-
Level 7 - Physical/Mechanical/Firmware: clean
room job, damaged R/W heads stack or damaged R/W Pre-amp without
obvious magnetic platters damage. These jobs will be defined as
recovery attempts and will require rebuilding the drive in a
clean room from donor parts. Only after rebuilding the drive we
will be able to assess if the data will be recoverable or
not. In most of the cases these drives will also show bad
sectors and possibly firmware corruption and file system
corruption.
-
Level 8 - Physical/Mechanical/Firmware: clean
room job, damaged R/W heads stack or damaged R/W Pre-amp with
obvious magnetic platters damage. These jobs will be defined as
top complexity recovery attempts and will require rebuilding the
drive in a clean room from donor parts. Only after rebuilding
the drive we will be able to assess if the data will be
recoverable or not – the success rate in these type of cases
will be lower because of the magnetic platters damage. In most
of the cases these drives will also show bad sectors and
possibly firmware corruption and file system corruption. In some
of the cases only partial recovery may be possible.
-
Not Recoverable: drives with excessive magnetic
platters damage – usually carved rings and highly contaminated
drive chamber as a result of the carved black particles. With
current technology these type of jobs are beyond recovery.
Data Recovery & Backup Solutions for South Gundurimba Process
The hard drive recovery process is very complex and requires a lot
of specialized data recovery engineering tools and knowledge, and
level 6+ failures require a class 100 cleanroom.
