Data Recovery Frequently Asked Questions

Do you have a clean room?
Yes, We have a class-100 clean room at an offsite facility where we work on drive internals.  Sometimes it's necessary to work on the internals of a drive chassis in order to recover data.  This type of work should only be done in a dust free environment.  Sometimes when drives need to go to the clean room, a surcharge may be necessary.  This surcharge is due to the extra time, labor, and replacement parts.

If you guys fail, will I be able to go to another service for an attempt?
Yes. We do not hold you hostage or hold your hard drives. We are the most trusted data recovery company on Long Island for a reason.

How long will it take to get my data back?
The average service time on a standard data recovery service can take up to 5 business days. If the drive needs to go to our clean room or parts are need to be ordered, the recovery time can take up to 15 business days. Please note, that these time frames are estimations, we do not guarantee service will be complete in 15 business days.  Due to problems that your hard drive may have, it may take longer. However when you drop your drive off, we do not keep you in the dark. We inform you about every step of the way, when we know. 

What type of payment do you accept?
We accept cash, certified check, wire transfer, money order, Amex, Visa, Mastercard, Discover. Please call with any other types of payment.

What do I need to bring into your facility
For data recovery please call and explain the situation. We need the device in question. Sometimes we need the entire server or computer. Please call us, that way we can get a full description of the problem, and tailor the job to you.  Every job is different. 

Do you do software recovery's only?
No.  We have expensive machines that do what software alone cannot.

Should I try and tap on my hard drive to get it spinning again?
No.  If a failing hard drive get tapped, this can cause more damage.

Should I Try The Infamous Freezer Trick?
No. Due to condensation buildup, this will ruin your hard drive. People that say it worked; didn't have a truly failed hard drive, and/or got 'Lucky'. Do not waste your time. If this worked we would of invested in an industrial size freezer. Please call us 516-889-0777.

How will I get my information back?
Due to the size of your media, we can only give you options, and let you choose. We can recover information on CD's, DVD's, Hard Drives, Flash Drives or SD Cards. We do not recommend you buy anything until we inform you that the data can come off.

I live on or near Long Island, New York, can I drop off my hard drive?
Yes, you can drop the hard drive off at our 24/7 Drop Off Center, located at 10 West Broadway, Long Beach, New York marked Suite 11E, after completing our Online Data Recovery Form.

I lost my restore CDs/DVDs that came with my computer, can you back up my Applications (Programs)?
Unfortunately we can't.  When a Computer Application (program) is installed onto a Windows based computer, windows saves the programs data (during the installation process) in more than 50 locations on the hard drive.  It would be easlier for us, just to re-install the Computer Application (program), than to backup it up.  If you need help getting replacement restore CDs/DVDs or a Computer Application (program) Disc/Disk, please contact us 516-889-077 and we will assist you, in getting replacement Restore Discs.
