Data And How It Can Be Lost

Hard drive failures can be a painful and frustrating experience for most people. Within an instant you have lost one or more major means of communication, access to the web, and access to your documents. The causes of drive failure can vary, but the pain is the same.

Software Failures

The vast majority of “computer crashes” are caused by software issues that prevent the user from continuing to proceed as normal. As smart as your computer may seem, it is only as good as the next instruction it receives from the Operating System. Software crashes can be caused by a corrupted file system that prevents the computer from locating the files it requires, accidental deletions, or any number of other circumstances.

In most software failures, your data is completely recoverable, but you need to take the appropriate steps in order to have a successful outcome.

When you suffer such a loss, the first step is to STOP! Consult with a professional before you do anything else.

There are plenty of downloadable programs and utilities you can run and try to recover your data, but what most people don’t know is that as you are installing and running these utilities, you may be overwriting the very data you are trying to recover. STOP and give us a call. Our consultations are free and we may save you from making a bad situation worse.

Physical Failures

Although not as common, data loss can also be caused by physical disk failure.

Physical disk failures can be caused by a number of issues from a faulty component to damage from static charges or power surges to physical damage from a fall or accident. The key to addressing a physical failure is accurate diagnosis without causing any further damage.

If you suspect data loss due to a physical failure, again, STOP!

Some physical problems with your hard drive can be causing more and more damage to your platters every time you power up the drive, further reducing the amount of recoverable data. If you do not know what you are doing, please STOP and give us a call.
