Data recovery with a 90+ per cent success rate

Losing data can be distressing – we get it. Hardware and software can fail at any time without warning, and we’ve all accidentally deleted important files and documents before.

Data loss can cause significant disruption for both home and business users – but there is a solution.

Fast and professional action can increase your chances of recovering 100 per cent of your lost data. Even in the trickiest of situations, our experienced team have revived family photos, sensitive information, and business documentation for our clients.

Signs you have a faulty hard drive

Here are some of the tell-tale signs you have a faulty hard drive in your PC, Mac, or laptop:

• Your computer takes 5-10 minutes to load anything.
• The Mac spinning rainbow wheel keeps spinning.
• Your computer makes a ticking or scratching noise.
• Your computer has slowed down considerably over the last 3-6 months.
• You struggle to open photos, files, and documents.
• You constantly get blue screen errors (BSOD) on your PC.
• Important files and documents are missing.
• Family photos are corrupted and won’t open or display correctly.

Act now to prevent further data loss

If you suspect your computer has a faulty hard drive, carefully follow these rules:

• DO shut down your computer and unplug it from the wall. Call us right away on 1300 553 166. The faster you phone, the greater the chance of a full recovery.
• DO NOT attempt to access files. This can damage the hard drive.
• DO NOT reformat your computer or reinstall the operating system.
• DO NOT restore a backup or use an auto-repair program.
• DO stop using the computer if you hear clicking or grinding noises. You might need to put your ear to the side of your computer.
• DO NOT use free data recovery software available online. This can ‘override’ your files, making professional data recovery more difficult and time-consuming.

Our 3-step data retrieval process

We’ve formulated a three-step data retrieval process that yields the best possible results.

1. Assessment

First, we comprehensively assess the health of your hard drive. This evaluation allows us to diagnose the issue and its severity. The drive may have experienced a logical or mechanical failure or physical damage.

2. File list

Using professional-grade tools and software, we begin the process of recovering your valuable data. We will provide you with a detailed list of recoverable files. Once you confirm this list, we will proceed with a full recovery.

3. Recovery

After your files have been recovered, we copy them to a portable hard drive or upload them to a cloud storage provider.

Avoid future data loss

You have experienced first-hand just how stressful data loss can be. Prevent future data loss by investing in two to three forms of backup.

We always recommend a combination of cloud-based and portable hard drive backups paired with a reliable backup software – such as Acronis. For household and small businesses, we also recommend using a Network Attached Storage (NAS) server. These systems have built-in RAID backup and will continue to function even after a hard drive has failed.

Chat with our experienced team today to discuss the best backup options for you. Our technicians can help you create a fully customised backup solution that gives you peace of mind.

Saved my life!

“My computer hard drive on my 27inch Mac completely packed up and took my main external hard drive with it.

I was in a state of panic as all the data appeared lost. Not a small hard drive but 8TB of information and photographs.

I found Computer Cures online and Adam was amazing. All my data was retrieved!”

 

Kirsten Dickie, South Melbourne 

Great Service!

“After hard drive issues with my computer both Paul and Luke provided great customer service and Luke was very informative explaining in detail what went wrong with my PC.

Even though the repair took longer than expected I wasn't charged for the full amount of time and my PC is running smooth without any data lost."

 

Kaelan Duncan, Glen Iris

Absolutely Fantastic Service

“I am so grateful to Computer Cures and in particular Tim. He was not only able to save all the information from my old computer, he was so patient and thorough and explained everything he did.

I would highly recommend Tim and Computer Cures to anyone who needs computer help. Thank you so much."

 

Kerri Spillane, Southbank

Difficult Computer Issue

“Adam was a huge help in salvaging the files off of an old portable hard drive and Apple laptop that had both broken down.

He went above and beyond when it initially didn’t look like we had too many options.

His knowledge and expertise with apple products was a huge boon and I am very happy to have saved all my old files and photos."

 

Rhys Salmon, Brunswick

Home Computer Resurrected

"Very professional and efficient service at our home from Luke today. Luke resurrected our family computer after a recent power outage.

I had hopes to recover files off the hard drive but Luke was able get the whole PC working again and tuned up.

Definitely exceeded expectations."
