Professional Data Recovery Without Compromise
Data loss is one of the most stressful computer emergencies. Whether a drive was dropped on the floor, experienced an unexpected power surge, or was inadvertently formatted, running amateur recovery tools can permanently overwrite data sectors. At Hands Technologies, we use dedicated hardware imagers that bypass damaged sectors to safely clone raw bit-level images before extracting files.
Types of Storage Media We Handle
Mechanical Hard Drives (HDD)
Internal 3.5" desktop drives and 2.5" external USB drives (Seagate, Western Digital, Toshiba) with clicking heads, slow read sectors, or burned logic PCBs.
Solid State Drives (SSD & NVMe)
Unrecognized M.2 NVMe, PCIe, and SATA SSDs experiencing controller lockouts, corrupted firmware translation tables, or bad NAND blocks.
USB Pen Drives & SD Cards
Corrupted flash memory drives asking to "Format Disk before using", physically bent USB connectors, and unreadable camera SD cards.
Logical & Corrupted Partitions
Accidentally formatted volumes, deleted folders, RAW file system conversions, BitLocker recovery issues, and corrupted Windows installations.
Critical Advice If Your Hard Drive Is Failing
Notice clicking, beeping, or extreme slowdown?
Immediately unplug the power. When a hard drive read/write head is mechanically bent or dragging, every rotation physically scrapes the magnetic platter coating, turning recoverable data into permanent dust. Do not attempt free internet software on a physically distressed drive.
Strict Confidentiality Protocol
We work routinely with corporate audits, chartered accountancy ledgers, hospital patient records, and private family albums. All recovered files are staged strictly on isolated offline drives and wiped according to strict security protocols once successfully verified and handed back to you.
