What Our Customers Say...

From Gordon S. New York, NY USA: Hitachi HTE726060M9AT00 external mobile - Abrupt failure. Drive won't mount. With ear to drive, sounds like it spins up but makes odd crunchy grinding noises. No recovery attempts were made.

 

Thanks so much!!!

 

From Jan O. M. Mashburn Construction, L.P. Roopville, GA USA: Seagate ST3400620AS Barracuda 7200.10 SATA 400 Gb - Recognized by BIOS - yes Spinning Sound - yes I did send this to a local guy to try to restore data. He was unsuccessful.

 

I think I have everything I needed. I will recommend your services any time I have the opportunity. You have made me very happy. Thanks. Jan M.

 

From Dane R. Corvallis, OR USA: Western Digital WD5000BPVT WD Scorpio Blue 500 Gb laptop - Failed in BIOS or CMOS. Drive spins up on power on but fails to be recognized by bios. No head slamming noises. Failed one morning when house was cool. That afternoon, tried again and booted fine. Wrote off some data to CD but had a system hang when connecting to a large backup drive. Had to power down and it has never booted since. I was mfg engineer for HP laptops and have recovered many drives myself. Even opening them sometimes. I uncovered the hidden screw, thinking I might open this one, but decided against it - It has NOT been opened. I suspect a firmware chip on the board has failed.

 

Thank You very much for what appears to be a near perfect recovery from a damaged hard drive.
