Data recovery in Madison

Often the files are fine and it’s the computer around them that has failed. We can pull your photos and documents off a drive that won’t boot, a dying laptop, or an old desktop, and move them somewhere safe.

If a drive is physically damaged (clicking, not detected at all), the safest move is usually to stop using it. We’ll tell you honestly when that’s the case instead of making it worse.

What’s included

  • Copying files off drives from computers that won’t start
  • Recovering accidentally deleted files where possible
  • Moving data to a new drive or computer
  • Setting up a backup so it doesn’t happen again

When to call

  • A computer won’t boot but you need what’s on it
  • You deleted files or formatted the wrong drive
  • An external drive stopped showing up
  • You’re retiring an old computer and want everything off it

How it works

  1. Describe the problem

    Call or send the form with what the computer is doing and roughly when it started. A photo of any error message helps.

  2. We diagnose on-site

    We come to you and find the actual cause before anything is replaced, then explain it in plain English.

  3. You approve the fix

    You get the price of any part and the labor up front. If it isn’t worth fixing, we say so.

    No work starts until you approve the price

  4. Fixed, tested, explained

    We test it in front of you and show you what changed. Same-day remote support afterwards if anything comes back.

Data recovery: common questions

What should I do right now if my drive is failing?

Stop using it. Every write can make recovery harder. Turn the computer off and request a quote.

Can every drive be recovered?

No. Physically damaged drives need a specialist clean-room lab. If that’s your situation, we’ll tell you before you spend anything.

How much does data recovery cost?

It depends on the drive and the problem. You get a price after we look at it, before any recovery work.
