Recovering Business Data Narre Warren North

Workshop Job – Data Recovery

Recovering Business Data from his laptop drive led the client to call for help. Following the breakdown his laptop drive he was so desperate. After some preliminary questioning, it turned out it wasn’t physically broken, but some internal damage may have occurred.
The client mentioned he had visited  a number of other data recovery options trying to get his business data back. However they told him this required clean room works as some heads were damaged and must be replaced. The expensive options!
Please bring it in for assessment as we all have different approaches to a particular situation.

 Investigating

When the client came in, he further explained that he had bumped the laptop still running when closing the lid. Because he was concerned something wrong might have happened, he successfully logged back in to check. However the next day, the laptop could no longer logon to Windows.
As a result he could no longer access some of his most recent business data he didn’t get to backup.

Findings

Following our assessments all heads returned 100% fully functional status.
However the drive presented heavy media degradation and a corrupt file system although our imaging device could access the data.
Consequently a path to recovering the required business data would be as follows.

Solution

Data recovery path:
The drive is highly unstable. As a result accessing the data within on the computer was no longer possible.
Therefore we’ll clone it to a good one using our state of the art imaging system.
Then we’ll perform logical recovery off the clone upon completion of the imaging process. After that we check the integrity of the data to ensure the client gets the required them in a usable condition, not garbage.
Next, we’ll transfer the recovered data to the client external drive.
Well, this is a brief summary of what happened, the whole story is much longer and more complicated :-).

Results

Although the extensive degradation of the drive corrupted some of the recovered data, the process returned all the data he needed fully functional. He had backups of the rest from which he could restore.
Happy and thankful customer!

Nice touch

Once we’re happy with the data ourselves, we setup access to the recovered data so he could check and test them himself. We then transfer the data to the client’s supplied drive.
