10 years ago there were only 100 hard drive recovery service locations in the United States. This was due to the fact that computer hard drives needed to be disassembled in a certified clean room. That is a room completely climate controlled and guaranteed dust free. Today in America alone there are probably 3000 data recovery service laboratories. Many of these use a sterile glove box as opposed to a certified clean room. More importantly, many of these offer data recovery services that do not require hard drive dismantling at all. Most hard drive problems simply require application of powerful third party software to recognize and recover deleted or damaged files. What we mean by third party software is software that is not included in your Windows operating system.
An excellent utility for home hard drive file recovery is File Finder. Unlike most data recovery programs that require you to connect your computer’s hard drive to a second computer by means of cables, File Finder accesses your computer hard drive through your CD/DVD disk drive. File Finder’s impressive user friendly illustrated instructions allow anyone to quickly master techniques for file recovery. Whether you need to recover a single file from a partition on your hard drive or whether you need to copy your entire drive to a large external drive, the advanced user friendly File Finder instructions will guide you through the process.
