Hard Drive Recovery in Montrose
Mechanical failures — clicking heads, seized spindles, electronics killed by a power spike — are opened only in our Class 100 cleanroom, where donor parts and careful hands get platters readable again. Logical failures — deleted files, corrupted partitions, accidental formats — never need the lid off: we image the drive write-protected and rebuild the file system from the map up.
Dropped and portable drives
Portable USB drives are the most-dropped objects in computing, and a spinning drive dropped from desk height can crash its heads before it lands. If a drive has been dropped, do not keep trying it — each spin-up risks scoring the platters. Power it off and have it assessed; the phone call costs nothing.
