DataRAID performs advanced data recovery for all types of hard disk drives including internal IDE, ATA, SCSI, SATA, external Firewire and USB drives. We have an in-depth understanding of the architecture of all drives which helps to make for a swift and smooth recovery. We maintain a team of software and hardware engineers to develop and deploy custom solutions when needed for even the most difficult of recovery situations.

If you hear clicking or any other strange sounds emitting from your hard drive, turn the drive off immediately and do NOT try any recovery attempts. Damage to the platters can occur if the hard drive is continually run in such a degraded state and can make data recovery more difficult if not unrecoverable.

DataRAID is ready to help regardless the cause of your data loss, some of which may include:

• Accidental re-forming of partitions
• Hard disk crash or hard disk component failure
• Accidental deletion of data
• Ticking or grinding noises coming from the hard drive while powering up or trying to access files. This symptom almost always indicates a failing hard drive and is often accompanied by some of the other symptoms. (Most drives will emit a light mechanical hum that a user may notice under normal operation. An indication of impending failure is when the “normal sound” changes to louder ticking or grinding noises.)
• Computer won't boot. Blue or black screen after power up. The system will not load Windows or other operating system
• Applications that are unable to run or load data
• Trying and failing to start an application such as Microsoft Excel or Microsoft Word
• Opening folders that should be full of files but appear to be empty
• Inaccessible drives and partitions
• Corrupted data
• Visible fire or water damage
• Media surface contamination and damage

Some background information as to why you may be receiving these errors:

Your computer BIOS performs a power-on self-test (POST) when it starts up the system to check out the PC and make sure that everything is working properly. Assuming that the BIOS is able to boot the system far enough to gain access to the video subsystem, it will display information about the PC as it boots. It will also use the video system to communicate error messages to the user, therefore, most boot problems will be displayed via video error messages as in the examples provided above.

An error message can be produced by various parts of the system depending on how far into the boot process the system gets before it is produced. Most error messages are produced by the system BIOS, as it is responsible for most of the functions of starting the boot. However, other physical errors can also be relayed to the OS and the messages tend to be operating-system-specific.
