Data loss does not need to be a disaster

You were working on your dissertation and suddenly your computer screen went blue! OK.

You restart the computer, the computer turns on with a long delay. No sign of the Windows logo or anything else! Then you get the dreaded message “The Operating System Not Found!. Insert the boot disk and press any key”. Furthemore, the clicking sound coming from the computer does not look good at all! What a calamity! You realise your hard disk has crashed and all your dissertation including all your emails, photos and other documents are gone! Well, perhaps you can live with the loss of some photos and the emails and some doucuments. But what about your dissertation which is due next week and for which you have been researching for the past 3 months. This is disasterous! You meant to back up your data to an external hard drive several times but you just postponed it until this happened. You bang on the desk and blame yourself for not backing your data and how stupid you were not to have backed up your data. You think you will never get your data back. However difficult this situation is, you should know, that help is at hand. Your situation is not unique. But you need specialist help. The only people who can help is a data recovery company. An IT support person cannot recover the data but perhaps they can help you find a suitable and reputable data recovery company. One such company, who were among the first data recovery companies in the UK established in 2001, is Data Recovery Lab. Just call 0207 516 1077 and they will be very happy to help you recover all your data and advise you on how the process of data recovery works.

Retrieving Lost Data – File Recovery Tools: How Good Are They?

Can I use data recovery tools so heavily advertised on the internet?

If you search for “data recovery software”  in the Google search box, will be surprised to find hundreds and hundreds of websites and online shops trying to offer you “FREE” data recovery software. Almost all these developers or data recovery software marketeers claim their software does just magic and can bring all your lost and deleted data back from the dead!

But how can we be certain this is true?

At first sight, they claim the the data recovery software is absolutely “free” by which they actually mean it is free to “download and try”. When you download and install these applications, you will also realise that these recovery applications will scan your hard disk and find some files but when you hit the “recover” button, you will be asked to upgrade the free version and pay for the right data recovery tool. OK. you purchase the software and do a full scan and attempt to recover the data. But does actually work? You may be disappointed to know that the majority of these so-called “data recovery tools” are actually reverse-engineered or white label versions of other software developers with mixed capabilities in tackling data loss. Don’t be surprised if you are disappointed if you find out that after spending £60-£95 no data has actually been recovered. At this point, you wish you might have been better off to call a specialist data recovery company and save time and money.

Unfortunately the consequences of using a data recovery software application is unpredictable. Some are good and some others can make a successful data recovery just impossible. If your data is important, do NOT risk it by using a downloaded data recovery software as you may never your get data back.

DIY data recovery is not recommended in cases where critical data is involved and data loss can be disastrous in on business or personal level.
