Our Technical Recovery Process
We follow a rigorous, non-destructive recovery process to protect the integrity of your data:
Step 1: Initial Evaluation & Diagnostics
- Comprehensive in-lab assessment using diagnostic software and electrical testing
- Non-intrusive scan for firmware and PCB issues
Step 2: Stabilisation of Faulty Drives
- Fault isolation, including firmware module repairs, decryption mapping (if needed), and safe power-up
- Cleanroom Class 100 environment used for internal work on mechanical drives
Step 3: Bit-Level Imaging
- Sector-by-sector imaging using write-blocked, forensic-grade data extractors
- Multiple imaging passes with ECC correction, if necessary
Step 4: Logical Data Recovery
- File system repair, partition reconstruction, and raw file carving
- Metadata restoration and folder hierarchy rebuild
Step 5: Data Verification and Extraction
- Full data verification for integrity and accessibility
- Extraction of recovered files to client-provided or new media
