ADR Data Recovery works closely with colleges
and universities when data recovery services are required.
We offer these colleges and universities a discount when using
ADR Data Recovery to assist them in restoring their confidential
files, faculty documents, campus photos, campus newpaper articles,
applications, and enrollment information.
For students, we offer the same discount
so they too can rest assured that they will get the same level
of attention in recovering their lost thesis documents, essays,
formulas, computer programs, digital graphic art, photos and
music. Simply inform the ADR Data Recovery Customer Service
Representative which College you are with and they will gladly
provide you with a 10% student discount.
"Operating System Not Found" or
"Missing or Corrupt File" are both messages any
student dreads seeing after spending hours of time researching,
organizing, and typing out a thesis paper.
Maybe you live on campus, maybe you live
on your own, maybe you live at home, in any of these scenarios
some of the most common day-to-day occurrences can cause a
computer, laptop or Powerbook hard drive to loose its data.
These events include hardware & software failure, software
corruption, human error (accidentally deleting the wrong files),
computer viruses, power surges and mis-configured backup software.
More serious events, such as malicious behaviors, natural
disasters [floods, fires, lightning] can lead to much more
serious and complex methods to restore the corrupted data.
Software Failure
When your computer blue screens (Blue Screen
of Death: BSOD) when you try to boot or during the middle
of an operation, it can mean the operating system has been
damaged, there may be bad sectors on your hard drive that
the system is unable to read, your hard drive could be failing,
you might have a virus or trojan, someone may have deleted
critical dll's or system files, the partition or file structure
may have become corrupted or damaged.
A “drive not formatted “error
usually indicates the hard drive's partition has been damaged,
deleted or corrupted. It can be caused by a virus, a hard
reboot, a power outage or surge, disc partitioning utilities
and sometimes updating software, anti-virus programs or simply
installing new software can damage a partition.
Hardware Failure
Your hard drive may be giving you clues
that it will ‘crash’ soon. Typically, if you hear
a clicking sound coming for where the hard drive is located
in your computer it is a really good indication that there
is a serious problem. This could indicate a head crash, corrupt
firmware on the drive's ROM chip, an electrical problem like
a burned chip, blown heads, a bad pcb controller, overwritten
servo's, damage to the hard drive's platters and alignment
issues from being dropped, jarred or a power surge.
Viruses
If your hard drive is infected with a virus,
one possible indicator would be that the computer reboots
over and over. This is because the boot sector has been hijacked
by a virus that creates a continuous loop. It keeps telling
the system to go back to the boot sector and reboot.
All of the above are typically what you
will experience before your hard drive fails, or as it is
failing.
When your hard drive fails, if you are able
to keep track of its symptoms
leading up to the failure as well as its current state, it
helps to quickly narrow down where the problem may lie when
performing a data recovery.
We help colleges, universities, and faculty
as well as college students and graduate researchers when
it comes to retrieving their lost data. We have successfully
recovered data for dozens of colleges, universities, school
districts, and other educational entities.
Students shouldn’t stress out about
their computer’s hard drive, they should focus on their
classes and next exams! Let ADR Data Recovery focus on your
data recovery needs. Call us at 1-800-450-9282,
