What Not To Do If You Need Data Recovery Services In London

By Matt Brennan

Sometimes, knowing what to do is not all the information that is required. For individuals and businesses in London that have experienced a hard drive failure, there are also some important things not to do before you give our data recovery experts a call.

Unfortunately, many people, including some IT teams, will make the mistake of trying to complete data recovery on their own. Not only can this make it more difficult for our technicians and specialists to extract and recover data, but it may wipe out data that could have been fully or partially recovered.

What To Do

If the hard drive starts to act differently than normal, it is important to discontinue use immediately. For an external drive, this is a simple disconnection of the drive from the device. Internal hard drives will continue to attempt to read and write over existing data, so immediately shutting down the computer or device is essential to prevent further data loss and fragmentation.

On our website, we provide information on removing an internal hard drive as well as how to pack the device for shipment. For our customers in London, we have an office in Soho Square that offers 24/7 service by appointment, which is a critical consideration for many of our corporate customers. Once we have the drive, we can begin the process of data recovery, starting with evaluation and analysis of the drive.

What Not To Do

To maximize the potential data recovery, even with physically damaged drives or devices, do not attempt to use utilities or software downloads to recover the data on your own. We have the cutting-edge software, which will be more efficient at recovery and provide a higher recovery rate than online software options.
