			<h2>FACTS & MYTHS ON DATA RECOVERY</h2>		
			<h2>A Clean room is not need for all data recovery</h2>		
			<h2>Never put your hard drive in the freezer</h2>		
			<h2>My hard drive is clicking are my heads damaged ?</h2>		
		<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><strong>In order to recover data it must be done in a clean room. This is based on what is called a Level 3 repair. Where the hard drive must be repaired in a dust free environment. </strong><strong>If the cover is removed from the hard drive for a head, platter or motor replacement.</strong></p><p style="padding-left: 40px;"><strong>The biggest data recovery “ MYTH “ is based on a </strong><strong>the</strong><strong> false </strong><strong>premise</strong><strong> that all data from hard drives must be recovered </strong><strong>in a dust free environment for the successful recovery of your data, from the defective hard drive. </strong></p><p style="padding-left: 40px;"><strong> Experience has shown about 70% of all bad hard drives can be successfully recovered without the need for level-3 ("which is very expensive to say the least") repair in a clean room.</strong></p><p style="padding-left: 40px;"><strong> If your drive wasn’t dropped, your  chances for data recovery increase to about an 85%.<br /></strong></p><p>Do you remember hearing this from the so called data recovery experts on the internet If your hard drive won’t spin-up, put it in the freezer for about an hour or two or maybe just overnight, and then <i><b>Whamo ... </b></i>it will spin-up. Really?</p><p>The chances of this working successfully are about zero to nil and then again if it did it would be a very short time before it died doing more damage to the hard drive which would end up being a Level 3 repair, costing you a lot of grief and dollars if the data was really important to you.</p><p>If your hard drive is overheating putting it in the freezer is not going to cure the problem its just going to add to the problem. Once the drive is taken out of the freezer condensation begins to build up on the platters. The condensation that built up on your platters will more than likely drip down on to your PCB board containing all the electronic chips that drive depends on to power up the drive control the speed of the platters and most important of all reading the data on your drive. And you're going to be paying a lot more than the $300 dollars we will charge. </p><p style="padding-left: 40px;">If your hard drive is clicking does it mean that it has a defective head or bad heads? No it doesn’t necessarily mean that the head(s) are damaged. The problem can be related to the following :</p><p style="padding-left: 40px;">corrupt firmware modules</p><p style="padding-left: 40px;">PCB components on the board itself</p><p style="padding-left: 40px;">a weak power supply</p><p style="padding-left: 40px;">loose connections</p><p style="padding-left: 40px;">motherboard not supplying enough power burnt chips on board.</p><p style="padding-left: 40px;">There are quite a few different clicking sounds that originate from a hard drive. And these clicking sounds can be caused from a variety of problems depending on the type of hard drive you have. Western Digital ,Seagate, for instance some</p><p style="padding-left: 40px;">Western Digital hard drives have a clinking sound which could be caused by a bad PCB board, </p><p style="padding-left: 40px;">Some Seagte drives depending on their firmware version will cause a clicking sound.</p>		
			<h2>Will hitting or dropping my hard drive </h2>		
		<p style="padding-left: 40px;">There are loads of rumors around the Internet about the various things you can do to bring your dead or bad hard drive back to life. The truth is, it’s <em>technically</em> possible these could help, but the chances of success are <strong>low</strong> and the chances for further damage are <strong>high</strong>.</p><p style="padding-left: 40px;">It’s much more likely <strong>these techniques will further damage your drive</strong> to the point that even we can’t recover it and the only remaining chance for recovery is with a $1000+ level-3 data recovery.</p><p style="padding-left: 40px;"><strong>“Hitting,” “slapping,” and “intentionally dropping” a hard drive, as crazy as it sounds, has been known to work before. However, this was back in the good-old-days when hard drives were prone to “stiction.” “Stiction” occurs when the heads of the hard drive “stick” to the platter and cause the drive to not spin. Slapping the drive then, offered a chance of freeing the stuck heads and freeing the platters so they can spin up. Even if the hard drive starts spinning again, the chances for recovering all the data is small, since now there is very likely platter damage (since you just “dragged” the heads across the platters).</strong></p><p style="padding-left: 40px;">In these rare instances, we use much safer techniques inside our ISO Class 5 portable cleanroom to free up the “stuck” heads using tools specifically designed for the job. These tools gently lift the heads off the platters, unsticking them safely. The heads can then be safely moved back to their ramp or “park” position.</p><p style="padding-left: 40px;">Hitting, slapping, or dropping a hard drive will often lead to scratched platters. Once platters are scratched, it’s likely no one will ever be able to recover the data (no matter how much you’re willing to pay), at least the data which falls under the scratched surface.</p><p style="padding-left: 40px;">These dangerous “shock” techniques should never be used on a hard drive containing data that is valuable to you. It’s a guarantee that they will lessen your chances for recovery with us and likely some data will be permanently lost.</p><p style="padding-left: 40px;"><br /><br /></p>
