Crack Attack, the windscreen repair specialists, based in Leamington Spa, telephoned to say that he had lost data on his hard drive. We visited and found that as well as there being no effective backup strategy, the hard drive being used was somewhat elderly and in a rather poor condition.
The hard drive
although recognised by Windows was being reported as unformatted and
therefore Windows could not access it in the normal way. We brought the hard drive
back to the workshop and found using our specialist tools found that
data was present, but was not contained in the normal Windows partition
area. This meant that in effect the data was in RAW format and was
unusable by Windows.
After several hours Computer Solutions
managed to recover data vital to the running of the business including
Sage data, several Excel spreadsheets as well as many Outlook Express
email folders.
Normally a hard drive
with this degree of damage would have to be sent away to a specialist
lab, often costing upwards of £600.00. In this instance however we were
able to repair the data at a much lesser cost.
This article highlights the importance of having a regular backup procedure, whether using an external hard drive or one of the plethora of inexpensive backup services that are now available.
