Looking for Data recovery services, company, center, experts in Nairobi for your computer or phone, or any other gadget ? You are at the right place.
We recover / salvage / retrieve inaccessible, deleted, lost, corrupted, damaged or formatted data from secondary storage, flash disks, mobile phone storage, SD memory cards
and other memory card types, removable media or files and hard disks. We recover storage media such as internal or external hard disk drives (HDDs), solid-state drives (SSDs),
USB flash drives, magnetic tapes, CDs, DVDs, RAID subsystems, and other electronic devices.
You may have lost your data as a result of physical damage to the storage devices or logical damage to the file system that prevents it from being mounted by the host
operating system (OS).
If you are experiencing operating system failure, malfunction of a storage device, logical failure of storage devices, accidental damage or deletion, etc. (typically, on a
single-drive, single-partition, single-OS system), we will copy all important files from the damaged media to another new drive. We have special software and hardware to
assist in the process of this recovery. Such cases can often be mitigated by disk partitioning and consistently storing valuable data files (or copies of them) on a different
partition from the replaceable OS system files. We can advise on the possible ways to mitigate such scenarios too. We can also implement the same.
FAILED DRIVES DRIVES OR PARTITIONS
If your drive has failed, such as a compromised file system or drive partition, or a hard disk drive failure, and the data is not easily read from the media devices, Depending
on the situation, we can repair the logical file system, partition table or master boot record,or update the firmware. We use software-based recovery of corrupted data,
hardware- and software-based recovery of damaged service areas (also known as the hard disk drive’s “firmware”), to hardware replacement on a physically damaged drive which
involves changes the parts of the damaged drive to make the data in a readable form and can be copied to a new drive. If a drive recovery is necessary, the drive itself has
typically failed permanently, and the focus is rather on a one-time recovery, salvaging whatever data can be read.
DELETED FILES
In a third scenario, files have been accidentally “deleted” from a storage medium by the users. Typically, the contents of deleted files are not removed immediately from the
physical drive; instead, references to them in the directory structure are removed, and thereafter space the deleted data occupy is made available for later data overwriting.
The deleted data still technically exists on the physical drive. In the meantime, the original file contents remain, often in a number of disconnected fragments, and may be
recoverable if not overwritten by other data files.
Where data which have been encrypted or hidden, rather than damaged, we also get them recovered. Sometimes data present in the computer gets encrypted or hidden due to reasons
like virus attack which can only be recovered by some computer forensic experts.
PHYSICAL DAMAGE
A wide variety of failures can cause physical damage to storage media, which may result from human errors and natural disasters. CD-ROMs can have their metallic substrate or
dye layer scratched off; hard disks can suffer any of several mechanical failures, such as head crashes and failed motors; tapes can simply break.
Physical damage to a hard drive, even in cases where a head crash has occurred, does not necessarily mean there will be permanent loss of data. TWe have means to salvage most,
if not all, of the data that had been lost when the failure occurred.
Of course there are exceptions to this, such as cases where severe damage to the hard drive platters may have occurred. However, if the hard drive can be repaired and a full
image or clone created, then the logical file structure can be rebuilt in most instances.
Most physical damage cannot be repaired. For example, opening a hard disk drive in a normal environment can allow airborne dust to settle on the platter and become caught
between the platter and the read/write head. During normal operation, read/write heads float 3 to 6 nanometers above the platter surface, and the average dust particles found
in a normal environment are typically around 30,000 nanometers in diameter. When these dust particles get caught between the read/write heads and the platter, they can cause
new head crashes that further damage the platter and thus compromise the recovery process. Furthermore, end users generally do not have the hardware or technical expertise
required to make these repairs. Consequently, data recovery companies are often employed to salvage important data with the more reputable ones using class 100 dust- and
static-free cleanrooms.
