- File-Finding and Data Recovery -

This service can range in scope from basic telephone-help with the finding of lost data-files, right through to the recovery of the data-file content of entire hard-drives following a major PC crash. In this context, the term 'datafiles' is used to include Outlook Express email files and folders which may contain essential correspondence and contact-list information, and whose loss could cause serious business difficulties. The service also covers (wherever possible) the retrieval and reinstatement of files that have been deleted both from their original folders and/or from the Recycle Bin.


The service also covers the 'cloning' (i.e. the exact copying, byte for byte) of the entire contents of an old hard-drive onto a new, replacement hard-drive, should such an operation become necessary and if it's still possible. The object of such an operation would be to forestall possible data-loss from a drive that has started to develop unrepairable mechanical problems, due to its age and length of use.


Drive-cloning can also be used to carry out a quick, cheap, safe upgrade to your PC's data-storage capacity. The entire contents of your (probably) much smaller original hard-drive are simply cloned onto a suitably-partitioned, fully-tested, larger replacement (or additional) hard-drive unit, which is then installed in your PC as the Primary Master drive in place of the original unit. The original drive can then be reinstalled as the Primary Slave or Secondary Master, and cleared down later ready for use as extra storage, once the operation of the system from the new drive has been tested thoroughly.
