Symptoms of a Crashed Hard Drive
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, you must turn
off your system now! This will prevent further damage to the
hard drive reduce the risk of making your data unrecoverable!
Hard drive is clicking...
or makes scraping/grinding sounds BIOS does not recognize
the drive External hard drive, laptop or system was dropped
or jarred The computer was subjected to water or fire
or smoke damage When a hard drive experiences any of these
symptoms, it normally results in internal and physical damage
to the read/write heads and or the platters.
The heads do not rest on the hard drive
platters during operation. During normal operation the heads
ride on a micro-cushion of air that prevents them from touching
the platter surfaces. When a hard drive is contaminated by
dust, smoke or water the heads begin scratching the platter
surfaces and results in data loss. If you or a "computer
technician" keep turning it off and on trying to get
it to boot or access the data by slaving it to another system
you are causing more damage and could lose ALL your data!
Clicking Hard Drive - a very serious
symptom of a hard drive crash...
When a hard drive starts clicking, grinding and making unusual
sounds it's like hearing a rattle snake in the grass: If you
keep messing around you will get bit and the results can be
disastrous!
The fact is...
When you experience a hard drive crash you need to answer
these three questions:
- How will it affect me and my company
if I lose this data?
- What will it cost in dollars and down-time
to re-enter this data?
- Can I recreate this data if I need or
want to?
You wouldn't trust your orthodontist to
perform brain surgery... When it comes to recovering vital
data from a crashed hard drive, you need to choose a company
that has the experience, training, and equipment necessary
to recover your files. That's why companies and organizations
like Boeing, Safeway, Raytheon and The American Cancer Society
choose American Data Recovery, Inc., and so should you.
