If we cannot recover your data, it is unrecoverable...

Data recovery is our Core business since 1992. From hard drive recovery to complex RAID data recovery, from all types of Storage Media.

The general perception is:- If you've lost data by deleting files, formatting/partioning a drive or when mechanically damaged, the data is lost! In most cases the data is actually recoverable and our team of Recovery Specialists have been recovering lost data since 1992.

Drives for Data Recovery are shipped to our lab from all across the globe seeing that it's very affordable for other countries and states due to our low currency.

Our data recovery lab includes a fully certified Class 100 Clean Room Facility, for hard drive recovery from mechanically  damaged drives, in accordance to ISO 5 to ISO 14644-1 clean room standards.

As we specialise in data recovery from mechanically damaged drives, it is imperative that no contamination of dust particles is present during the recovery process. This process is also known as "Micro-surgery". Our clean room facility ensures us the highest possible level of success.
.

Our qualified expertise enables us to access lost data, at a far lower level than what a normal computer is capable of. Although we've invested in State of the Art Technology, it is still necessary to employ our expertise to repair severely damaged partitions, corrupt file systems etc, by means of manual but advanced disk structure editing, using Hexadecimal Editing Techniques. This technique enables us to do data recovery from as low as 5 previous disk partitions.

We are specialists in hard drive recovery from the most complex RAID server configurations. We form part of a forum of world-wide drive scientists and data recovery specialists, therefore sharing the intensive Research and Development process in an ever changing world of Information Technology. Our developments include processes of de-striping and re-assembling broken RAID arrays to the most advanced level of reconstructing the following RAID parameters:.

  • Disk order and sequence
  • Stripe and sector size
  • RAID header information
  • Parity rotation (backward/forward/delayed parity etc.)

Imperative Technology has invested in State of the Art Technology and expertise to recover lost data due to the following circumstances:

  • Accidental deletion of important files
  • Data erased by a Virus
  • If the hard drive has been formatted (even if information has been re-written after  formatting the drive)
  • If the drive has been re-partitioned
  • Hard drive data recovery with bad sectors
  • Drives that cannot boot and not recognised by the operating system
  • Drives damaged by applications, lightning and power surges.
  • Mechanically damaged drives (usually recognised by a clicking sound or scraping noise.)
  • Lost Password Recovery - We recover lost password from most popular software applications
  • File corruption - Files that no longer open within software applications

We recover data from all popular operating systems from the following media:

  • Floppy diskettes and CD's
  • Zip / Jaz removable disks
  • Digital Media - CompactFlash, Memory sticks, Micro drives etc.
  • Backup Tape & Cartridge media
  • SCSI / IDE Hard disk drives
  • Specialist RAID Server configurations

Please do not attempt to do Data Recovery yourself. In cases where we cannot recover data successfully, is mostly due to incorrect previous attempts to do data recovery by non specialist data recovery engineers. We've done many years of intensive research to apply tried-and-tested processes with proven methodologies to do hard drive recovery, without using destructive processes.  In the event of partial mechanical damage to a hard drive (drive still partially accessible), incorrect attempts to recover the data will overstress the storage media and cause permanent damage, beyond the level of repair.

In many cases, the cost of data recovery is escalated simply due to previous and incorrect attempts, as we need to firstly repair damage done because of incorrect previous attempts before we actually start the hard drive recovery process. Therefore if your data is critical, do not try to do data recovery yourself! .
