    Data Recovery in Townsville Advice

    Data Recovery in Townsville Geeks

    Where people are going wrong trying to do data recovery in Townsville

    Many people bring us their hard drives in hope to recover their data. Recovering data is not as actually as hard as businesses make it out to be.

    If you have deleted something on your computer it is possible to restore and complete data recovery in Townsville.

    Your computer doesn’t actually delete the data (at least immediately), rather it allocates the space the file is using on your hard drive to be writable if more data needs to be added.

    Only when new data is written over it, is it harder to recover.

    Therefore, if you have deleted files on your computer or had a crash, it is imperative you do not use the drive or the computer.

    And if you do try and recover the data by installing a data recovery program or application, you do not install it to the same drive you are trying to recover data from, or you could risk installing the program over the top of the exact data you are trying to recover!

     

    Your Operating System is Always Writing to Your Drive

    Even when you think you are not saving files or data to your hard drive, if your computer is on the operating system is always saving data, system states, page files etc to your hard drive.

    It might seem like it is not doing anything, but int he back ground your computer and its programs are always working.

    If you want to recover data from a hard drive, do not use it as your primary drive, or drive your operating system is hosted on or any other programs are running from to ensure data recovery in Townsville is done more effectively.

     

    Some More Don’ts

    • If you hear a clicking noise on your hard drive, do not keep using it.

    It is most likely the head and the more you use it the more you risk damaging the drive. You probably wont be able to use it anyway, so make sure it has no power.

    • Bang it on something to stop the clicking

    Hard drive are not like a coke machine you can bang on the side to get your coke to fall down properly if it gets stuck.

    Doing this will almost guarantee to do more damage to your hard drive and further risk the loss of data.

    • Taking the disks out of the drive

    Taking the disks out of the actually hard drive should be left to experienced professionals data recovery experts.

    Few people have the expensive equipment needed for this in Townsville such a clean rooms and anti static devices. Taking the disk platters out of the actual drive when you do not know what you are doing will result in catastrophic loss.

    Also, trying to perform data recovery in Townsville like this with he heat can result in sweat getting onto the drives. Something most people don’t think about.

    • Changing circuitĀ boards

    Make sure if you change the circuit board on your hard drive (not the computers motherboard) you do it correctly with the correct board.

    Replacing the circuit board with the wrong one can do a lot more damage than good.
