10 years ago there were only 100 hard drive recovery service locations in the United States. This was due to the fact that computer internal 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 retrieval services that do not require hardware dismantling at all. Most hard disk 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 an application that is not included in your Windows operating system.
An excellent utility for home file rescue is FileFinder. Unlike most data restoration programs that require you to connect your computer’s internal hardware to a second computer by means of cables, our software accesses your computer through your CD/DVD disc drive. FileFinder’s impressive user friendly illustrated instructions allow anyone to quickly master techniques for file recovery. Whether you need to retrieve a single file from a partition on your hard drive or whether you need to copy all of your information to a large external storage device, the advanced user friendly FileFinder instructions will guide you through the process.
