  • Data recovery before you reformat

    When software recovery is enough — and when the platters or NAND need a clean room.

    Difficulty: Moderate · ~45 min
    1. Stop writing to the drive

      Every boot risks overwriting deleted files. Pull the drive or boot from external media when possible.

    2. Try read-only tools

      Linux live USB + ddrescue or file-carving tools for accidental formats — only if the drive still spins or enumerates.

    3. Clicking or not detected

      Mechanical failure needs a clean bench. We quote imaging before deep recovery — no flat-rate miracles.

    4. Get help

      Book a Repair with the symptom and what happened before the failure.
