WD Passport Ultra stopped working – BIOS Freezes

WD My Passport Ultra stopped working on laptop. Brought to PC for investigation – not being recognised in file explorer, device manager, and disk management. Tried checking if BIOS recognised it, but when plugged in it prevents PC from POSTing. Very strange. Disconnect drive, POST PC, get into BIOS, insert USB then BIOS freezes. Unplug, BIOS unfreezes.
Drive makes normal sounds when plugged in, spools up fine, sounds like it’s reading for a minute, then makes a very brief blip/chirp sound then starts the process again.
Went through troubleshooting solutions on Google to no avail.
Returned to laptop and it appears in device manager but fails to populate with data on drive size etc. Appears in disk management but again, no drive size etc., unable to assign drive designation.
Laptop is Windows 8 (not mine…), PC Windows 10.

OnePlus Data Recovery – Quadcomm Crashdump

Hi, I’m in Belfast, NI and I was wondering if you could help with some data recovery from my OnePlus6 smartphone? It was working as normal one day and then in the evening while it was charging it started switching on and off. Eventually ended up at ‘Quadcomm crashdump‘ as the error message. I managed to get it to recovery mode a few times and cleared the cache. Even got it on for 30 seconds one time and saw the data was still all there but then it crashed and I think OS is beyond operating now. I know I could reset the entire system but I’d lose the data which is the one thing I don’t want to do.
I’m just interested in getting pictures, videos and recorded audio files off it even if it means losing the phone if it has to be taken apart. I tried 2 repair shops in Belfast city centre but neither of them had any luck beyond what I had. I suspect the actual memory chip might need to be removed if you’re able to do that sort of thing? Many thanks for your time and help.

Error 7 HDD diagnostic
My Dell / Western Digital Blue laptop HDD, has stopped working correctly.
After running internal HDD diagnostic it shows up with a code / status 7 error every time.
After taking the drive out of the laptop and plugging it into a external caddy into my main PC.
It manages to loads some files/directories but others come up with a “corrupted or damaged” error.
I’ve also tried running the diagnostic tool SpinRite 6 to recover the driver this has also failed.
As such I am out of ideas and do not wish to damage the drive itself by opening it in an household environment.
I would be grateful of any assistance you can provide.

GoPro Data Recovery
I have a question regarding a potential data recovery job that I’m hoping you could help me with. To set the background the files are .360 video files shot on a GoPro MAX of size approximately 300MB and I believe there to be two files which were taken and individually deleted on 01.05.22. The SD card on which they were written to is a 16GB microSD card and has had no data written to it since. I personally own copies of Easeus and Sandisk Rescue Pro data recovery software which I have ran on the SD card. From what it looks like the software has actually managed to find and recover what I think to be the correct files at their full file size (304MB and 253MB). However they were recovered as .mp4 files rather than .360 and I am unable to play them back. I have tried to change the file format to .360 and use the GoPro player to play them back but they are still unplayable. I am hoping that you would be able to advise me further with regards to professionally repairing the corrupted files or recovery by a different means.

I have lost access to my cryptocurrency wallet. I have an ADATA SP600 2.5″ SATA 6Gb/s Premier Pro 128GB that is completely dead. It does not power up and it contains my cryptocurrency. It is not recognised. Have tried other cables/other computers with it. I just wondered if there is any hope for it and if so how much it would likely cost to get the wallet.dat file off it.

MetaMask wallet enquiry
I sold my computer and bought a new one , install metamask chrome extension and input my seed phrase , metamask generated a new different address and I cannot find the way to get access to my previous address,I have tried created new account under the same seed phrase but the one I am looking for is not showing up, I can still see the Lost address on etherscan with the funds in it but, I can’t figure out how to gain access to that address again, I believe the metamask vault of the address I am looking for is somewhere in the computer I sold but unfortunately I have no access to that device,is there a way you could help me with this issue?

Bitlocker password on hard drive can’t access
I have a bitlocker on an external drive, password lost and no recovery key. Can you recover data from a Bitlocker hard drive?

Phone data recovery

You have been recommended to me by a friend who has an IT company, who has used you previously in Liverpool
Just wondering if you could help me with my iPhone which is completely damaged (suspected dropped and run over by a car).
I can’t get it connect to a laptop but I didn’t know whether this is because I can’t press approve on the damaged screen or if it just isn’t connecting. When plugged in to charge it does get hot, but again I don’t know if this is due to the battery being damaged or because it’s trying to power up the damaged screen – I’m presuming the former.
Unfortunately it isn’t backed up due to my laptop being old and not being able to download the latest iTunes etc.
Apple have said they could attempt to fix it but have said they would factory reset it and lose everything off it, so I’m looking for someone that could help recover everything off the phone.
Thinking mainly all the photos & videos but as much as possible / everything off there would be great.
I believe it could be taken apart and the ‘hard drive’ isolated / fixed to retrieve the data and I’m hoping this could be the case.
I’d really appreciate if you could let me know if you think this is possible and any associated costs or details please? Also where are you located in Liverpool?

Data recovery on Sony Xperia

I have a Sony Xperia XZ3 which just died on me one morning. It had a habit of freezing every now and then (I’d had it over 2 years) so I reset it by holding the volume key and power button. It was on charge at this point, and usually it does the shutting down process but the screen just went blank and the charge indicator disappeared. I tried to turn it back on with no avail, it was just blank and dead.
I had a spare phone so removed the SIM and switched devices and realize the phone didn’t have a memory card in it so all of my pictures and videos from the last 2 1/2 years are lost.
My husband took my phone to a phone shop to see if they could repair it. They tried replacing the battery, it didn’t work. They asked to send it off to their specialist’s but they were unsuccessful in getting the phone to power up. They had tried directly powering the phone by bypassing the battery but with no joy. Specialist’s have said the phone is not salvageable and the only option to recover the data would be to go down the chip-off recovery option. Is this something you could help with please? Like everyone, my pictures and videos are precious memories to me. They’re the memories of my girl’s being born, my Nan, my little girl’s first steps. I’m so annoyed with myself for not having a memory card in, or backing up the data. ( I didn’t realize android’s could back up for some daft reason.) I don’t care if the phone is not salvageable, I just want the images and videos back.

Samsung tablet recovery

My samsung tablet recently died and am am unable to access any of my data. i have tried everything including taking it for repairs. for now the only thing am interested in is the data on my Tab. I have read of the great work you do and i would really appreciate if you help me out.

WD Elements doesn’t fire / spin up
My WD ELEMENTS DESKTOP 1TB external hard drive will no longer fire up / spin and is not recognised by any PC. I am looking to recover family photos in particular and am based in Leicester. I can call into Data Clinic on St George’s Way Leicester if that helps?

Both my laptop and my external hard drive appear to have issues. I have stopped using the laptop but need to remove the information but it has basically just completely stopped – possibly from over use? The external hard drive has only just started to haev problems, it si a WD passport and clicks and whirs when I plug it in and isnt detected on my windows laptop. This is recent but it contains a lot of vital information.

WD External recovery needed
I have an external hard drive (model: WD My Passport Red/Mudder Case 1TB) which has predominately image files saved on it. I live just outside Bristol and believe Data Clinic have a data recovery office at Castlemead?
The hard drive is not being recognised when plugging in, regardless if plugged into a mac or windows laptop.
The hard drive didn’t sustain any obvious damage ie broken; water damage etc and stopped working from one day to the other.
I’d appreciate a quote on a possible data recovery.

Seagate in HP Pavilion
I have a Seagate SATA 160GB disk used previously in an HP Pavilion laptop before it broke down. The disk is not recognised and there are some quite sentimental files on there I would like to recover. The disk has been removed from the laptop.

Phone dropped in the Sea
My phone was dropped to the sea about a month ago. I took it to the phone service shop to recover my pictures, but they told me that it is not possible to do it. As you have advaced technology and experienced engineers maybe you would be able to recover my gallery (exact dates: 31/03/2021 and 01/04/2021). I would be very grateful if you would give me any hope.
Please let me know if there are any possibilities and how much it would cost.

In this post we discuss saving photos from a broken Samsung A50 phone and a Western Digital Elements hard drive that is not showing up on Disk Manager.

Need help saving photos on a Samsung A50 phone
Before I broke the display on my Samsung A50 phone, I had a fingerprint and a template, but after changing the display, only the template I don’t remember remained. I asked at Samsung services but they said that factory settings are needed. Is there any chance you can help me remove the template or at least save my photos?

WD Element not showing on disk manager
This drive came from a WD Element external drive which I took out to use internally (this was a while ago). During a power surge, related to a faulty USB hub, this particular hard drive decided to not show up on disk manager. I then decided to disconnect it and reconnect it externally via a SATA-to-USB interface. Windows is not seeing any data on these partition, even though the drive was almost full, and prompts me to format (which I didn’t). The drive seems to be healthy and functional. There is a lot of important data on this hard drive and I need the folder structure to be preserved for the data to be useful.

An event has been captured on a digital camera, the images saved straight onto a 32gb sd memory card.
Approximately 300 Images were copied over to a mac book laptop after the event. or so we thought.
In actual fact, in the destination folder on the laptop, only 250 of them successfully copied, as for the rest, they are ‘greyed-out’, when they are clicked to open, a error message states, ‘this file can not be opened as it is in use by another program’.
-There is no other program opened with the images in use.
-The original 32GB SD memory has been formatted since. then another event was shot and saved onto this same memory.
Please let me know if you can help, if your service comes with a no data, no fee policy and what your price is for a job of this nature.

Card is an XQD card (possibly Sony), which has been accidentally formatted. Nothing written to it since, they ran some Sony device checking app over the card which could ‘see’ some files but could not access or recover them (customer assures me nothing overwritten). She will need to get authorisation but thinks they might go for Priority and get this overnighted to us themselves. They would also provide RM and an adaptor/reader (I don’t think we have seen this format before and none of our readers seem to mention it )

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?

There’s now a Data Clinic data recovery centre located in Leicester where you can take your broken hard drives and phones to so you can get their data recovery. It’s at Rutland House, on Friar Lane, Leicester

Recovering data from a .DMG file

Question: I’m located in Leicester and a couple of years ago my hard drive crashed and a company managed to save the data and restore it. A couple of days later, it happened again and I brought my laptop back to the same company which fixed it this time (something was faulty and therefore needed to be changed the first time). I managed to make a disk image (.dmg file – what is a .dmg file?) on my external hard drive the 2nd time and thought I saved my data.
I haven’t managed to use this disk image since and I always have this message when I try to mount the said image: “No Mountable File Systems”
I am wondering how much would it cost for my data to be recovered or the disk image to be mounted on a HDD so I can access it again and if it is at all possible.

Answer: To recover the data from a .dmg file my advice is to read other posts in this blog and contact one of the data recovery specialists it recommends. There’s a new data clinic recovery provider at Data Clinic Ltd, 3rd Floor, St George’s House, 6 St George’s Way, Leicester LE1 1QZ

File copy takes a long time

Question: I left some files copying over to a hard drive overnight (which would have taken it to full capacity). When I woke in the morning I had failed to copy errors and the disk drive had disconnected. I reconnected with another cable but it won’t mount, although I can see it in disk utility. I’ve had this problem before on my Macbook but the hard drive usually mounts after a few hours. It’s now been 20 hours. The light is on on the disk drive and I can hear it spinning. Is file recovery possible? I was yet to backup so a lot of files will be lost.

Answer: Sounds very much like hard drive has bad sectors. My recommendation to to find a data clinic in Leicester that should be able to help you recover the data.

WD hard drive stopped working

I have an old Western Digital external hard drive with family photos on it, which stopped working several years ago. It made noises when it failed, so I think it’s a mechanical problem. I have an identical WD drive you can have as a donor for spare parts, and I would supply a new Lacie external drive to return the data on.

Seagate hard drive firmware fault

It seems that you have a perfect knowledge of seagate hard drive firmwares defaults.
I have a seagate barracuda 3Tb ST3000DM001 version 7200.14 (so sad it is not 7200.11)
It is the usual problem, bios doesn’t see the hard drive, the reading heads try to read platters few times then the hard drive stops. I live close the the data recovery place at Rutland House in Leicester and can call in with the hard drive.
I checked 2 seconds under laminar flow bench, everything look intact inside and no particle on the filter. Could you tell me what you think about the problem, just to check that we talk the same thing and what would be the total price for data recovery (shipping, work on the hardrive, backup on new support, …)

I dropped my portable external hard drive (WD Mypassport Ultra 1TB) and it now doesn’t seem to start up when plugged in, and is not recognised at all by my laptop (Macbook pro retina).
It contains about 500mb of data. most of this is backed up elsewhere but the critical last few months are not backed up due to a failure of my automated system.
The data includes mainly image files (jpg, psd), video files, word and pdf files.
I would like an estimate of time and cost for data recovery, and details of how your services are operating at the moment.

Sony Vaio Recover Data

I have a harddrive with deleted photo’s. They are visible so I need them to be retrieved. My laptops hard drive has failed, it turns on with the laptop, but goes to the bios and stops running, and os won’t load. There’s not too much stored on the hardrive, but some pictures and documents which ideally I’d like to keep. Can you recover the files and directories from my crashed Sony Vaio laptop. I’m near Rushden Northampton

Data extraction

I’m unable to perform data recovery on my laptop hard drive due to it not initialising.
Do you have a Class 10 lab facility? – or access to one? I have a WD 2,5” SATA drive that I would like to get data extracted from.

I can provide the following:

– The drive itself
– A similar harddisk (same firmware and controller)
– A new 1TB USB drive (SATA) that can be used to store the recovered data to.

Clicking Iomega hard drive

Seagate 1Tb Hard Drive will not respond at all. iomega 500gb hard drive, was making clicking sounds and not showing up on cpu. opened it up and needle is parked. Beeping noise when plugged into laptop. Light still comes on, but can’t access anything.

External Iomega Hard Drive won’t mount to iMac or any other device. I can see it their when i open disk utility but it’s greyed out. After running first aid i try and mount the disk but no luck. Could i get a price to retrieve all the data please? I can bring to a data recovery service in Bury, Manchester

Iomega hard drive, never had a problem with it until I went to use it and was told that I needed to format it first – I googled this and was told it would delete everything (which it did) but that I could recover everything through downloading certain softwares. Tried 4 now and none have worked so think I need someone with know how to do it for me. Really need to recover everything as it has career references and university documents on (including my whole dissertation)

Seagate GoFlex data recovery

Seagate 1TB external hard drive (https://www.seagate.com/docs/pdf/en-US/whitepaper/ug-goflex-home-us.pdf), initially we thought it was a problem with power supply to the docking station, after taking to the gadget doctor in east kilbride i’ve been told the drive is unusable and they dont have the equipment to perform data recovery, what would an estimated cost if recovery was successful.

I had a Synology 5 disk nas (raid5). With 2 problem hdd’s one had failed and the second was full of errors. I needed a RAID data recovery service – ideally in Manchester or somewhere in the North West. The data on the RAID was critical and I needed to get the files back. I knew of a Data Clinic in Bury at the Pavilions, Bridge Hall Lane, Greater Manchester and decided to take my RAID 5 nas in for data recovery.

The service I received was wonderful and they succeeded in recovering all my files from the Synology server. 5 stars for Data Clinic’s RAID data recovery team in Bury.

It’s a question I’m asked a lot. I answer the question at the bottom of this post. First I’d like to share with you some example data recovery enquiries we receive…

Broken hard drives need data recovery

I have a Seagate external hard drive 4tb which stopped being recognised by the computer however the drive is spinning as I can hear the spinning plates. I tried it on two different docking stations and I get the same result. I would like to ask what is the cost of recovering the data.

Hi, I have a HGST 1tb 5400 drive in an enclosure. I dropped it from my sofa and now the computer wont recognise it. I got a local computer guy to have a look and he said its beyond him and says the drive isn’t spinning at all. I have tried it with a different enclosure, cable and computer. ( the drive isnt completely full, however I’m unsure how much is on it). I’m wondering how much it would cost to retrieve everything on it? 1TB Hard drive making a clicking noise.

I would be obliged if you could tell me how much it would cost to recover CR2 files on an external hard drive ( approx 300gb )
What are CR2 files? CR2 files are produced by Canon cameras. They contain the raw image data of a photograph taken on a Canon camera. These files are then read by photo processing software such as Photoshop where the image can be altered to the taste of the photographer.

I have a 1.5TB Samsung HD154UI that from doing mechanical noises moved onto being totally dead, I really want to recover as much as possible on what’s on the hard drive. I’d like to get an idea of a price and whether you think it’s possible or not, it’s not urgent.

Hello, could you give me an idea of the price for data recovery?The hard drive is from an old computer, which failed about 5 years ago. The drive had started clicking on startup, and eventually the computer wouldn’t boot; I recovered some data with it plugged in as an external drive, and haven’t touched it since.
It was an iMac hard drive, 250GB Western Digital Caviar SE, with an additional windows partition from dual booting. The windows data is less important, so if that would end up priced separately I’d like to know. I can’t remember the partition sizes though!

Broken phones need their data retrieving

iphone x broken – unfixable says Apple. I’d like to retrieve some photos and video files if possible. The phone screen is completly blank, but the phone still functions, siri and calls, i would like the phone to be backed up, can this be done?

Broken screen with password on phone, screen has been changed and still not worked, no way of getting info from phone because of the passcode.

So, what’s the cost of data recovery?

There’s a rule to go by: you get what you pay for. A local computer repair shop may advertise their data recovery service, but the service they provide will be far different that the service offered by a professional data recovery company.

A professional data recovery company providing a professional data recovery service will charge somewhere in the region of £500 for a hard drive data recovery, and £300 for a phone data recovery. Their costs are significantly higher than those quoted by computer repair shops, but the data recovery services provided by computer repair shops is awful. If the problem is not a simple one to rectify and retrieve the data from, a computer shop will most probably ruin any chance of data recovery. My advice is shop smart and use a professional data recovery company when you need a professional data recovery service.

I shut the lid of my laptop a little too hard, and now it won’t boot. The first time I tried to turn it on there was a repetitive ticking noise, and it didn’t get past the “starting windows” screen. After rebooting again I got a message saying “insert bootable disk and press any key to continue”. In the set up screen the hdd is still showing, and I can get to the “acer recovery” page when using my recovery disks, but the only options are to completely wipe the hdd. Please can you provide a quote to recover as much of the data as possible? It’s an acer aspire 5755 running Windows 10, with a 500GB hdd. I’m based in birmingham and will be happy to drop the laptop off at your One Victoria Square B1 1BD data recovery address in Birmingham.

I have a Iomega external hard drive which is not allowing me to access any files. When I try to click on it a dialogue box appears saying: ‘H: is not accessible. Parameter incorrect.’ Would you be able to provide me with a quote for this?

My old laptop hard drive stopped working (not recognised by computer). I have replaced it and restored from back up all the folders except for photos (for some reason, these where not backed up). The laptop will no longer boot – it’s a hard drive problem I think. I have been quoted 340 pounds by one company, which I can’t afford. Are you able to offer a lower quote?

G-Raid drive purchased and told was Mirrored raid. Is actually Striped raid, and now does not mount and won’t boot. I am in Birmingham and can travel to the data clinic and leave my hard drive with you.

My Seagate external hard drive has started to beep. I am unable to access anything on it on my Mac or a PC. I have tested a different cable and that hasn’t resolved the issue. Seagate won’t offer me any support but I really need the files on there. It mainly contains videos and photos. I am unsure the size of the files on there but the external hard drive size is 2TB. It doesn’t over heat when it is on and beeping. The white light is still white. It is only 18 months old and used weekly. Please can you contact me to discuss what support you can provide.

I’ve been using a Seagate external Hard-drive on my Mac, whilst using it, the drive randomly disappeared from my finder window. Although the drive still lights up when plugged in, it isn’t recognised by the laptop. I’ve checked on multiple machines, none of which recognise the drive.

Hard drive has stopped been available in the Seagate Goflex Pro, Hard Drive was plugged directly into a windows machine where it also failed to be recognised. Drive is detected under linux but file system is listed as unknown. Physical drive spins up and sounds normal with no clicks or crashing.

Northampton Data Recovery

My 4TB Seagate hard drive was set up to send to an NAS system over a weekend and when I came to look at what had happened, the hard drive was clicking/whirring and failing to get up to speed. One of the IT technicians at my work said that he thought it was that the head was stuck and that he could release the head and then copy the data onto a new drive as it would not be reliable to use after this repair, but would be able to copy most, if not all, the data. However, the disk has not been able to get up to speed and still whirrs and clicks.
I’m after a data recovery company in the Northampton area that can look at this and give me a list of the files on the hard drive so I can see if the NAS received them all. It has lots of folders but I’m unsure of how many files went into each folder before the problem happened.
The hard drive is partitioned too – ExFat and NTFS, not sure if this makes a difference. The office is located in Kettering but I don’t mind travelling to the Northampton clinic (phone 01604 529 356) to get the data recovered if this is what is required.

I’m wanting a Northampton data recovery service from Monday to Friday, because at the weekend I travel to Liverpool. I live in the Horton House area of the centre of Liverpool so if the hard drive data recovery clinic in Northampton isn’t open on Saturday / Sunday I’ll have the files recovered at the clinic in Exchange Flags, Horton House, Liverpool (0151 268 5255)

I have a Seagate Back up plus (2TB) which dropped onto a wood floor.
There is no visible damage except wear and tear from be carried around.

Liverpool Data Recovery

External disk fell on the floor at my Liverpool house. It was opened by an expert and they said it needs to be repaired as there is a structural damage that needs sorting prior to retrieving the data. When I plug it to laptop, there is a sound of a loop/trying to start it up while it never picks data up. How much would it cost to repair it?

Have an ADATA HD710 External Hard Drive. The connector port has broken off and fallen inside the case. My photos are stored on the disc. Can you recover them? – I want to bring the hard drive into Northampton.

Took it to local pc repair shop and they tried to install in new desktop at my request nothing responding so put in a silver bag for me as I need all files (work, photos, music, folders etc) until I could find a decent hard disk repair or data retrieval at a decent price I can afford. I already went for a quote and it was extremely expensive £300! Single mom just starting in business in Northampton not a lot of income so thought I’d see who else was out there

Dropped WD hard drive, plugged in to see if it would work. Not showing up on laptop, but when I pull the cable out it says it wasn’t ejected. It has all of my work on it, please let me know if you might be able to help.

There is an error message showing and I want to try to recover some photos. PC World Northampton have looked at it but could not do anything. They suggested an advanced recovery.

I dropped my 2TB WD Elements drive on tiled floor. Casing popped off a little and was pushed back on. When connected to laptop the light came on and can hear whirring and clicking. Laptop can’t read or see the drive. I’m currently away from my Liverpool Merseyside home so email would be better than phone.

Here are a selection of enquiries for data recovery from hard drive and mobile phones from people and business living in the Liverpool and Merseyside areas. These data recoveries were dealt with by the people at Data Clinic, Horton House, Exchange Street East, Liverpool L2 3PF. https://www.dataclinic.co.uk/data-recovery-liverpool/

Data Recovery in Woolton
I looking for help with a data recovery issue I’m having with my hard drive. I live in Woolton, Merseyside and when plugged in the light on the hard drive comes on. It makes a noise but similar or the same to normal. It is used a lot to edit off on a daily basis but has not received a knock as far as I am aware. I notice there is a data recovery location for Data Clinic in Liverpool city centre at Horton House. I can take the hard drive into there and have the files recovered.

Broken Seagate drive in Allerton
I have a 1TB Seagate Expansion Portable Drive (1TEAP5-500).
The drive was working fine, it hadn’t moved from my desk (barely moved an inch) and was connected to the computer regularly. Then it started clicking when my computer started up. It would do this for maybe 1 minute and stop. I’ve then get a popup on my Computer saying the drive couldn’t be read.
All this just a few months after buying the drive from a computer shop in Liverpool. I come from Allerton and that’s where I live now. I spoke to Seagate in Aigburth, Liverpool but they weren’t much help and wouldn’t acknowledge the shoddy build – which I guess why would they!
Do you think the data is recoverable and if so, what would the ballpark cost be/turnaround?

Hard drive recovery in Cressington
We are and IT company in the Liverpool district of Cressington and we’ve got the following error message on bootup: EFI network 0 for ipv6 on a Lenovo G50-30 laptop.
As suggested after a local Google search for Liverpool data recovery companies, I know there’s a place on Exchange Flags, Liverpool L2 3PF for a company called Data Clinic, I power drained the laptop and removed and remitted the BED. Same error 🙁
Would appreciate an estimate of cost to recover files from BED (photos of kids) plus other advice on way forward.

Mossley Hill HDD Recovery
I am based in Mossley Hill Liverpool and work in Childwall – I hope you can help with my HDD data recovery problem. I am after a replacement actuator arm for a Seagate Backup Plus Slim Hard Drive. Do you have any of these for sale as parts or non functioning hard drives to buy?

The above data recovery enquiries from Woolton, Allerton, Aigburth, Mossley Hill, Cressington and Childwall all involved forensic investigation of hard drives and data recovery services from mobile phones. You can call in at the Horton House data recovery centre in Liverpool L2 3PF.

I have a 4TB Toshiba Canvio external hard drive that has stopped working. It stopped working when High Sierra OS was introduced, however I had someone look at it who said that the motor has stopped working. Please can you give me a quote for the fixing of this hard drive at all? I’m based in Solihull centre.

My Toshiba Canvio 1TB external hard drive has kind of given up on me. It still boots up with noises and lights but it isn’t showing up on my Macbook. It’s been through the walls after a stressful first year at uni, however I have compositions, films and photos that are crucial to my university projects so I need all of the data extracted and put onto a new external hard drive

The disk is a secondary HD used for photo storage and projects, The board got fried due to hot plugging while using a faulty IDE to SATA converter. I have tried a PCB swap (incl ROM chip swap) but the drive only clicks loudly still and is not recognised by Windows. BIOS will recognise its ID (Toshiba Canvio made in 2014), but reports just 5 GB capacity. I mainly want to retrieve photo and video folders. If possible, I would appreciate an some feedback about possible scenarios and costs based on the above information.

The above examples of Toshiba Canvio hard drive failures are common problems associated with any type of hard drive. In most cases, it’s possible to retrieve the files from a hard drive that is ‘broken’ by using a good data recovery company.
