Nerdcore Australia data recovery engineers have advanced experience recovering files from all types of hard drive failures, even in the clean room.

Hard disk Recovery: What does hard disk repair have to do with recovering my files?
Don’t you just want your files back?
Of course you do, but what you might not know is:
FIRST 1. a hard drive needs to actually work the way it did before it failed before the files can be recovered.
If your hard disk has crashed, won’t boot anymore, your computer won’t recognize it, it’s making awful clicking or beeping noises…
OR JUST PLAIN AND SIMPLE: hdd won’t work anymore and you cannot access your data, your hard drive is in a FAILED state.
Any failure must be temporarily repaired before the data can be recovered. This requires the drive to be brought to its original “working” state (temporarily repaired), in order to get your data.
A hard drive cannot be temporarily repaired without knowing EXACTLY what the cause of the failure was. The evaluation and data recovery process cannot move forward without an accurate and detailed diagnosis.
This is where a companies’ competence becomes a crucial factor.
Why does hard drive failure happen? (ie. Why is my hard drive clicking)
Most common hard drive failure symptoms:
Bad Sectors
Corrupt or Damaged Firmware
Failed, Failing, Crashed Read Write Heads
Scratched Platters
Deleted Data
Clicking or Beeping Noises
Drive not spinning
Internal hard disk drive not found
Drive not getting power
Drive smoking
Drive screeching or scraping
Drive knocking
The most important part of data recovery is determining why your hard drive has failed, what is preventing access to your files..
IT’s SO IMPORTANT THAT:
Recovering your data is almost always possible if you have immediately turned off the drive, and a data recovery firm who understands hard drive failures gets involved.
Every manufacturer and drive model has it’s own weaknesses, and unique utilities required for repair.
In many situations it is impossible to recover data from dead hard drives, without these advanced disk repair utilities.
Portable and External hard drive recovery:
Recovery after external hard drive repair is one of the most common cases we recover.
External hard drives are most prone to failure because they are portable.
They are often transported in backpacks and briefcases, are easily tipped over, and have very little protection against shock.
We recover data from hard drive manufacturers of all kinds. Below is a list of internal and external drive manufacturers our engineers work with on a daily basis, in our recovery lab.
About 50% of the time, the cases where parts are required is when an external hard drive has been dropped, or suffered from some sort of impact.
About 60% of the time, the cases where parts are required is when an external hard drive has been dropped, or suffered from some sort of impact.

We preserve the integrity of your data during crashed hard drive data recovery
Most computer and IT companies will try to recover your data working directly from the patient hard drive which continues to degrade the media, or worse destroys it. Nerdcore engineers follow a highly strict set of protocols during the evaluation process of your hard disk recovery to preserve its original state of failure.
The first thing we do to preserve the current condition of your drive is make a clone of your drive to work from.

What is professional hard disk data recovery?
Usually you’ll get ONLY one chance to get your data back from a clicking, seriously damaged, dead laptop, desktop, or external hard drive.
Most “computer and IT data recovery companies” offer a limited level software recovery service.
This means the best they can do for you is simply run “over the counter” software to attempt to read data from a crashed or failed hard drive.
This WILL in fact cause more damage on a failed hard drive, making the recovery process even more complicated, or even impossible.
How do I know my laptop hard drive is failing?
If your laptop (or any other computer) won’t turn on, or is running terribly slow, your hard drive may be on it’s way to mechanical failure. There are many reasons that hard drives fail. The most common reason is because of the impact or shock when the laptop is banged or dropped.
This can easily damage internal components of the hard drive. Another well known contributor to hard drive failure is power outages. Unless you have your computer connected to a UPC, your computer may abruptly shut down causing the heads of the drive to slam into the platter instead of parking where they are supposed to.
If you have a failing, clicking, corrupt, or broken laptop, desktop, or external hard drive don’t be discouraged. The damage will persist and grow if you take the wrong steps to fix it. Once you spot the early signs of a hard drive failure locating a professional recovery service for help can mean the difference between getting your data back or never seeing it again.

How exactly does broken and crashed hard drive recovery work?

These terms can apply to laptop, desktop, or external hard drives,
