LOST FILES • FAILED DRIVES • DATA RECOVERY

Your files are missing. Let's figure out what happened.

Deleted files, failing drives and computers that won't start don't always mean your data is gone forever. I'll evaluate the problem and determine the safest path toward getting your files back.

Can't get to your files?

If a drive is failing or important files suddenly disappeared, avoid experimenting with it. Tell me what happened first.

When important files suddenly aren't there.

The right recovery method depends on why the data became inaccessible. The first job is determining whether the problem is with the files, the operating system or the storage device itself.

Deleted Files

Evaluate options for recovering files or folders that were accidentally deleted.

Failed Hard Drives

Assess drives that have stopped working or are showing signs of mechanical or electronic failure.

SSD Problems

Evaluate inaccessible solid-state drives and determine what recovery options may still be available.

Computer Won't Start

Recover important files from a computer even when Windows or macOS itself will no longer boot normally.

External Drives

Troubleshoot external hard drives, SSDs and USB storage that are no longer mounting or showing your files.

Backup Recovery

Locate and restore files from existing local, external or cloud backups when available.

IMPORTANT FILES MISSING?

Sometimes the best first step is to stop.

When a storage device is failing, repeatedly restarting the computer, running repair utilities or continuing to write new data can sometimes make recovery more difficult.

If the files are important, I'll first evaluate what's happening and determine whether normal recovery is appropriate or the device should be left alone for specialized recovery.

Don't keep writing to it New data can overwrite files you're trying to recover.
Listen for trouble Clicking or unusual mechanical sounds can indicate drive failure.
Avoid random repair tools The wrong utility can complicate an already difficult recovery.
Protect the original Important recovery work should avoid unnecessary changes to the source.
THE RIGHT LEVEL OF RECOVERY

Not every failed drive needs a recovery laboratory.

Some data problems can be handled with normal computer service tools. Others involve physical failure and are better handled by a specialist. The goal is to recognize the difference before taking unnecessary risks.

Local Recovery

When the storage device is functioning well enough to work with safely, I can evaluate the filesystem, recover accessible data and move important files to healthy storage.

Specialist Recovery

When a drive has serious physical damage or the data is too important to risk, I'll recommend stopping local recovery attempts and using an appropriate professional recovery service.

FILES YOU CAN'T AFFORD TO LOSE?

Let's figure out the safest way to get them back.

Tell me what happened, what device the files are on and how important the data is. I'll help determine the appropriate next step before we do anything that could make recovery harder.
