Data Recovery Clinic specializes in laptop hard drive recovery. No one has more experience at Laptop Recovery..

Having worked on laptop drives since the first 5meg proprietary laptop drives. DRC has pioneered techniques, equipment, software for working with laptop drive Data Recovery. Data recovery from laptop drives is not like changing a tire or repairing a car. You learn to hear and feel every little movement of the drive, use special electronic equipment and software to find the failure on the drive. Even the clicking sounds of each drive is different. Experience, Knowledge and Talent is the key to recovery success.

Clicking Heads is the most common problem not only with laptops, but the 3.5" Drives also. The Clicking is the heads banging back and forth and hitting the stops. It cannot come ready because it can not read the maintenance track or read the servo track. This can be due to firmware or head stack, but can also be sector errors which is damage to the platters.

My Experience, Knowledge and using the latest in technology gives me the highest recovery percentage. Knowing what is causing the clicking sound, most common, the little hum or flutter is different for each model and brand lets DRC use the right technique or equipment to recover your data. It can be stuck head, bad sectors, corrupted firmware, corrupted maintenance track, bad defect list, DRC has the equipment , tools and knowledge to correct and fix the problem then recover your data.

Data Recovery Clinic does not charge for the evaluation of your media; furthermore, we do not participate in the "high/low" pricing quote model when possible. We understand that this can be a stressful time for you and believe that you should be fully informed in your recovery process.

Laptop and notebook drives are much smaller than their desktop cousins, consequently they require a more delicate and exacting touch to repair and recover. However, the steps listed above for what you, the user, can do to minimize further data loss remains basically the same, with the exception of:

1. Unless the drive was designed to be removed by simply sliding out of the casing, do not attempt to remove it yourself.

2. If you can remove the drive easily, be sure not to put any undue stress on it by applying pressure to the housing on the drive.

3. Take extra care when packaging a laptop drive for shipping, so as not to incur any further damage before reaching one of our labs.

Fill out a request form and include it in your package.

If at all possible, remove the media from the computer. Get expert help if necessary. Send us just the hard drive(s), tape(s), floppy, jazz, zip, optical, flashcard, micro drive etc..

Handle a hard disk drive as you would handle an egg. Handle failed hard disk drives with the same care as new drives.
Use the original shipping materials, if you still have them. If not, they are relatively easy to replicate:

1.) Wrap media in an anti-static bag or tinfoil to prevent Static Electricity.

2.) Use a box that is at least twice the size of the media so that the media can be suspended in the middle of the box. We recommend a minimum of two inches of insulation all around for a 1 Kilo drive.

3.) Pack securely with foam, bubble wrap, or newspaper so the media will not move from the middle of the box. Avoid using peanuts as contents will settle to the bottom of the box.

4.) If sending a computer, laptop or notebook, use great care to ensure proper cushioning and protection. We recommend at least 7 inches for insulation. The heavier the unit, the more insulation required.
