Data Recovery from External Drives

Data recovery From External Drives:

JTG Systems recovers data stored on external USB, Firewire, and eSata drives. These external hard drives house the same type of drives found inside your laptops and desktop systems and because they are external they are portable and more susceptible to damage thus placing your data in jeopardy unless care is taken.

Some problems you may encounter are…

Clicking sound heard

Grinding or scratching sound

Hard drive spins up and down

Hard drive does not spin

Lights on external case don’t light up

Lights on external case blink

JTG Systems technicians begin with a thorough diagnosis of the housing and finally the internal hard drive. This process helps determine whether the problem lies with the housing electronics or the internal hard drive itself. Once the problem is determined we can proceed with the best path to a full recovery.

 

Data Recovery from Desktop Hard drive

Data Recovery from Desktop Hard drive

Each desktop computer, whether it is a Mac, PC, or Linux/Unix system, internally houses one or more hard drives that store your operating system and valuable data. Desktop systems may be less likely to receive the abuse that portable systems may receive; however, they are still vulnerable to component and mechanical failures.

Symptoms indicating a data loss issue can include:

Computer won’t boot

Unable to launch applications or applications cause system to freeze

Spy-ware / Virus

Data corruption / System freezes when trying to load data file set

Accidental deletion of data files

Accidental format

Fire and water damage

Clicking sound emitting from system

Electronic component failure (smell of burnt electronics)

JTG Systems can recover your data from any drive, any manufacturer, and with any interface.

Interface formats commonly found in today’s information technology systems:

IDE (PATA or Parallel ATA)

EIDE (Enhanced PATA)

SATA (Serial ATA)

SCSI

SAS

Fibre Channel
