Level 1:
This method will produce results in the event that the file allocation table (fat ) (ntfs) has become corrupted. Normally when this occurs, it affects the booting of the computer; you may not get as far as the desktop. (This is where you see your icons and
wallpaper).
This is a two stage process - Stage one: recovery of your files. Stage 2: installation of operating system, (Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7), to make your computer boot back to desktop. Further software will be required to make peripherals work again,
eg: printer, scanner, web cam, internet, etc..
Data recovery up to 10Gb at a discounted rate will cost £20.00 if you combine this with a computer format. Computer format (which includes operating system installation), will cost £65.00, plus data recovery, total cost £85.00.
If you only require data recovery, the cost will be £55.00. The files can be recovered onto an external hard drive or USB Flash drive supplied by yourselves. (External hard drives supplied on request). If data is required on DVD Disc an extra charge of £10 will apply
Level 2 -If level 1 recovery fails to work, low level recovery process will be required.
This is a complicated procedure. The files recovered will not have any file name and folder
grouping as severe data loss has occurred . For example a word document called interview.doc after recovery will be named as file01.doc; hence the loss of file name. Each individual file will need to be open to be renamed.
Low level will pull all readable files off the hard drive, and will retrieve files going back many years, and photos from previously visited website’s that will require sorting.
Charges for this start at £150.00 — £275.00
This is an offsite procedure. Average turn around time is 4 days. Data recovered can be deposited onto a hard drive you supply.
Raid drive charges start at £350 – £650.
