HDD Data Recovery Services in UK | Data Replay Services

Swapping PCB boards on hard drives
Not sure if it is the 1TB or 2TB.
The drive powers up and I can hear it spinning but not recognized by PC.
I bought another WD My Book to see if the fault was with the board and not the drive, but even after I opened and swapped it out it is still now working.
I can supply both sets of devices.

Kioxia ssd drive recovery
I have a Kioxia CM6-V drive. I used nvme-cli to activate firmware slot 2, it was all working fine, even showed the firmware version being active, however after cold boot the firmware seems to not initialise, the device still shows via lspci but the nvme drive doesn’t appear in the OS nor in uefi bios.
So it seems I need to go back to firmware slot 1 for the drive to function again.
Not concerned about the data as it was just mainly a downloads drive. However it seems in order to activate firmware slot 1 with the drive in its current state, it would require an engineer to use the appropriate method such as jtag etc I presume.
Is this something you can do with this drive?

For recommended data recovery in the UK take a look at this article: http://datareplayservices.com/iphone-macbook-imac-and-external-usb-hard-drive-recovery/

In this post we focus on hard drive recovery, what it is, how it works and the leaders in the data recovery business sector. Below are instances of people with unresponsive hard drives who require a data recovery service.

Drive powers up, not recognized on PC, makes loud clicking noise (3.5″ drive)

External dropped, sounds like stiction, quoted usual 450 – 500 plus etc. according to results. Only after gone when booking in realised had been opened, this not mentioned by customer, will have to contact and explain re diag. Contains family photo collection.

I deleted files on my C drive and I’m unable to recover them.

My iomega external hard drive has stopped communication with the Laptop, its power light is working and you can hear the drive spinning, however, its not recognised when the USB cable is plugged in

Possible read/write head issue. 2gb drive I need data recovered on behalf of a client of mine

Laptop hard disk – sounds like bad sectors – local IT shop cannot access it

Its a Seagate 1tb hard drive Model SRD00F1 that has a blue light blinking when plugged in but stopped showing upon the computer altogether a couple of weeks ago. I’ve bought a new cable, which made no difference. It doesn’t appear in disk utility or any other way on my Mac and I have tried to see it on another Mac with no success. Can you recommend a hard drive recovery service please as the hard drive contains my entire work portfolio and all my photos from the past few years

1TB WD – device booting up but not giving access to laptop. been taken out of laptop – said laptop was making noises but thinks that was laptop booting. No unusual noises.

I have a hard drive that worked perfectly and all of a sudden stopped it now says to many bad sectors . It had some images from my work in the early days of my photography but it’s the images etc of my little boy I am wanting to recover . Do you think this is possible please ?

Drive fell from desk onto floor whilst in a portable drive caddy. Windows Disk Management now sees it as an Unitialized Drive. Drive does not sound normal spinning up – sounds like the heads are stuck

My portable drives wire stopped working and I paid for a new one from amazon however no luck, The portable drive light is still working but not coming up when I put the USB into my computer. Is there absolutely any chance of recovering the files on the disc? With the light coming on you’d presume it’s not broken?

Need to recover photos from hard drive

We have a seagate external hard drive with around 300,000 images and some videos. For some reason that we cannot work out, it seemed to be reformatted to nfts from FAT because we can no longer read/write on a mac – only windows.
We bought a secondary hard drive 2tb also to transfer all of the photos and videos across and then reformat the original disk. However, when i attempted this – it didn’t seem to transfer all of the photos.
These photos have massive sentimental value and I was wondering what services you offer. Do you have a centre in Birmingham that recovers data and photos?
Ideally we would like all of the images and videos safely moved onto another disk. Followed by the files and other stuff if possible but all the junk be removed, then the disk reformatted
I have attempted this at home but I’m not sure what went wrong.

Recover photos from phone

I recently smashed my phone and although it was working and receiving calls etc -the home button wasn’t working and i could not back it up to my lap top. I really didn’t want to lose a years worth of photos (a year in which my dad got cancer and i broke up with my boyfriend.. lots of special content on there including my voice diary and special videos of my father). I took it to Ismash to fix the screen. I thought if the screen was fixed then I could just go on and back up to iCloud..
It came back last night and was working – I was thrilled!! I was volunteering at a soup kitchen straight after so I put it in my pocket. Then when I looked at it again it was disabled.
What can you guys do. I have tried to update my phone but it is not working. I so so want this data. Do you think there is hope to recover it? How much would it cost?
Many thanks for keeping up with this rather emotional email! I will be so grateful if there is something you guys can do.

I’ve got a Samsung S7 on which the motherboard seems to have died. I had a lot of data and photos on an SD card but think I’ve left some photos on the internal memory that I would like to try and get back. Are you able to help? I am in Birmingham.

When you store important information on a hard disk drive, you take the chance of losing that information because hard disk drives can break for a variety of different reasons. If you’re not computer literate, losing data on a hard drive can be difficult because you don’t know what to do to recover your data. Fortunately, there are companies that can help you get that data back. These are known as data recovery companies and they can retrieve data from nearly any type of hard drive in any type of condition. So when you find yourself in a situation where you have lost valuable information you should not assume that this data can not be retrieved.

There are some companies that specialise in repairing damaged hard drives. In the process of retrieving your data, theses data recovery companies can also repair your hard disk. Types of the problems data recovery companies can repair include broken boards, mechanical hard drive faults such as the ‘click of death’ and beeping hard drives. A recommended company in the UK are RAID and Server Data Recovery – you would use a hard drive recovery company when your local IT provider can no longer help you.

Sometimes when there is no damage to the hard disk, software programs can be used to help you retrieve your data by yourself. There are usually trial versions available on the internet that will tell you what they can and can’t recover first. If you decide you want to recover the data they find you’ll have to buy the program which usually costs several pounds. But at least it will get your data back for you. A word of caution though, what may at first appear to be a simple hard drive problem may be something far more serious and trying to recover the data yourself may cause many more problems. So if in doubt, you should always seek professional help as there could be problems inside your disk that prevent it from working properly.

Remember that just because your hard disk breaks or the information on it seems to have disappeared, this doesn’t mean that the data is lost forever. Skilled data retrieval companies that can find and rescue lost data on a damaged hard drive. In the process of restoring the data, the hard drive problems that caused the data to go missing in the first place will be fixed. This is helpful because it insures that it won’t happen again.
