Computer hard disk drives can fail for many reasons and almost all do not handle bumps and knocks very well. Although desktop internal hard drives do not have the portability risks of either laptops or external hard drives, they are still subject to failure.
The most common reasons for hard disk failure in that we see in PCs are from power surges/cuts and wear and tear but it is worth bearing in mind that your hard drive may also simply stop working due to overuse or old age.
Signs to look out for that your hard drive may be starting to fail would be a general slowing down, odd noises coming from the drive, files or items not opening or the good old Blue Screen. If you experience any or all of these then its time to seek advice.
A small sample of common types of data which we can recover from ALL storage formats are as follows:
Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows 2000 Professional, Windows XP Home, Windows XP Professional, Windows NT Server, Windows 2000 Server, Windows 2003 Server, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10, MAC OS (all), also ALL Linux (ext2/3/4), VMFS, HFS/HFS+ and APFS systems.
Whatever the reason for your data loss, EADR can offer you a Data Recovery plan to cover ALL Data Storage Devices, Operating and Filesystem types.
It is the responsibility of the customer to ensure that the device being sent in for recovery is packaged securely and correctly. The best way to do this is to wrap your item in plenty of bubble wrap, and place it in a small, suitably sized cardboard box for a snug fit. The object is to avoid the drive moving about in transit.
The cardboard box should be plain and unmarked, apart from our address details. If you do use a recycled box, then any writing, address labels, bar codes or logos must be completely obscured with packing tape or permanent marker pen. Finally, please ensure that you have filled in and enclosed one of our shipping forms (available on our website). If you do not have access to a printer then we will require an absolute minimum of your name, address and contact details on a sheet of paper inside the box. We cannot accept responsibility for packages received without this basic information included.
EADR can arrange a free collection for you using a recognised National Courier Service, however, this is a no frills, next working day service and as such offers tracking only and no liability insurance whatsoever and you fully understand that if accepted will be undertaken completely at your own risk. EADR Ltd cannot and will not accept any responsibility or liability should your item be lost or damaged whilst in transit.
