Data recovery typically occurs in an emotional climate of great distress. Personally and professionally, a great deal is typically riding on a successful outcome. You should know that while some damage to data may be permanent, in most cases, some of the data will be recoverable, even in the most extreme of conditions.

Keeping this in mind, it is important to refrain from certain impulses that could be counter-productive to data recovery in a data loss situation.

Actions to avoid:

  • Running data recovery software or a tool that writes to or alters the problem media in any way;
  • Powering up devices that have sustained obvious physical damage, or that have demonstrated evidence of physical failure (e.g., drives that make clicking or grinding noises);

Last, but certainly not least, call a reputable data recovery service provider with a proven track record of successfully recovering data from all makes and models of computers.
