DataRecovery

Storage Media

Damage to removable media (USB drives, floppy diskettes, Zip, Jaz, compact flash drives, SD cards, CDs and DVDs), caused by dropping, scratching or exposure to moisture, heat and direct sunlight, can result in data loss. 

If you’ve lost data stored on a removable media device, before you do anything that might reduce the chance of data recovery, call 1800 LOSTFILES for professional assistance.

We specialise in recovering lost data and restoring deleted or corrupted files. So whatever the situation, get in touch with us to discuss how we can help recover the data you need, quickly and professionally.
Common problems associated with removable storage media include:

• inaccessible/undetectable media
• damage from exposure to moisture/liquid (coffee, water, rain)
• damage due to overheating/fire
• accidental or malicious deletion of data
• accidental reformatting
• data corruption
• damage to the media recording surface 

 

Media data recovery process

1. Dial 1800 LOSTFILES (1800 5678 34) for immediate help and advice from an experienced data recovery consultant. 

2. If the missing data is recoverable, we will organise to have your storage media couriered to our lab.  

3. A raw image of the data will be made for examination.

4. Our data recovery experts analyse, repair and recover data from the raw image, using leading-edge technology.

5. On successful completion of the data recovery project, file lists are created, the data is checked for validity and integrity, and returned in the requested format.
