"Our critical customer data was lost on our primary and
backup systems. With 2 dead drives in a RAID 5 array, we thought
our data was gone for good. Thank you for all of your help in
getting us back up and running."
- T. Fisher
"When our RAID crashed, ACS Data was able to save our business.
Thank you Thank, You Thank, You!"
- J. Davis
"My hard drive sounded like it was full of gravel when it
crashed, all of my accounting and graphic designs were lost. ACS
data recovery was able to recover all of my data and save my business."
- M. Bartonelli
"ACS Data was able to recover all of our product database
when our server's hard drive crashed. We were given a reasonable
price range, and they stuck by their quote. We are extremely pleased
to have our data back."
- T. Blaine
"We called a number of data recovery companies,
and we elected to go with ACS. We're glad we did. You folks were
able to get every file back (even some we had deleted long ago),
your technicians were friendly and knowledgeable and kept us informed
throughout the entire process."
- J. Robnett
"Most of my wedding images were taken digitally
and stored on my laptop. My hard drive crashed, and I lost all of
the photos. ACS Data was able to recover all of the pictures for
me. THANK YOU!"
- A. McAllistor
"ACS Data got the job done right and in a reasonable
amount of time. Great job."
- S. Martin
"Thanks for your honesty. Even though my hard drive was
unrecoverable, you still stuck by your promise and didn't charge
anything for attempting the recovery. I was worried that there
would be some hidden charges, and was happy to know there weren't."
- C. Mitchell

Types Of Hard
Drive Failure
When we discuss data recovery in this report, we will primarily
focus on issues surrounding hard drive failures; since these types
of failures are most common. There
are really two primary forms of failure in a hard drive, logical
and physical. Logical failures are usually a result of file-system
corruption. This can occur
due to a virus, accidental deletion of key files or registry components,
and in some cases even electro-static discharge.
In most cases where a logical failure has occurred, the drive
is still recognized by the system BIOS, but it will not boot. In most cases, your data should still be intact on the drive, even
though it may appear to be inaccessible.
If the system BIOS does not detect the presence of the hard
drive, then chances are a physical failure has occurred. Physical failures can result from a wide variety
of causes. There are really
two sub-categories for physical hard drive failures; mechanical
and electronic. Mechanical
failures usually result from a failure of the spindle motor.
Spindle motor failure can result from excessive heat due
to a bearing failure. The
increased heat resulting from the bearing failure will expand the
drive shaft and therefore seize the spindle motor.
Suddenly, your drive will become inoperative.
Occasionally, you will get a warning that something bad is
about to happen. You may hear a loud whining, a grinding noise,
even high-pitched screeches. If
anything like this starts to occur, BACK UP YOUR DATA IMMEDIATELY.
