File Recovery from an old Maxtor Drive

I have a 120gb Maxtor OneTouch external hard drive. A few weeks ago it stopped working – initially I thought this was due to an issue with the power adapter, which was broken, but having replaced this the hard drive still isn’t working. Perhaps an internal problem…?

120GB hard drives were all the rage about 10 years ago, so by having a hard drive that, until recently, still worked you are doing very well! All hard drives break eventually, most of them after about 3 – 5 years. I’m making an educated guess that your hard drive will use the older style IDE PATA interface rather than the SATA one that replaced it, and these days it can be difficult to find a company that has the older equipment required to retrieve the files from a broken IDE PATA drive. Rest assured we’ll be able to help you – please call us direct on 0871 977 2525, or you can call in at one of our centres. We are based in London, Manchester, Birmingham, Glasgow, Northampton, Sheffield, Leeds and Liverpool.

RAID Data Recovery

Just a reminder to companies requiring emergency RAID data recovery over the festive period that we can be contacted via our callback form. We run a comprehensive RAID data recovery service across the UK with specialist centres in London and Manchester – click to find out more about our RAID data recovery service.

Phone Recovery – Glasgow

I have a Nokia Lumia 925 which stopped turning on some months ago, quite suddenly, after having experienced problems with sudden restarts. I have a large number of photos on the device which I would like recovered. I am located in Glasgow. Could you please give a guide to what the rough cost involved would be?

You can click our phone data recovery service link to read more about our information retrieval from phones and tablets. In general the cost of recovery can vary between £195 and £295. A question we are often asked is are we able to recover deleted text / Whatsapp message from a mobile phone? – The answer is frequently yes but it does depend on other circumstances such as the type of phone in question, when the messaged were deleted and how much use the phone has had since.

We've used Data Clinic twice now - once for my son's laptop which held all his University work and suddenly seemed to just die, that was recovered with ease. And then secondly in connection with work when our office computer system backups were somehow corrupted. These people really know their stuff - they are very helpful and professional and quick! Thanks so much for everything.

Happy to recommend Data Clinic to anybody that suffered Data Loss on storage Media. The guys were extremely helpful and knowledgeable and made the recovery of our valuable data a stress free experience.

My company provides IT support to approximately 60 Yorkshire based companies ranging from small 10-15 users up to Enterprise sized organizations. Due to disk failure a client recently lost their entire database. We contacted Data Clinic and within hours a representative was onsite, several hours later the drive was returned, again in person by Data Clinic Manchester. I would not hesitate contacting them again, outstanding service in a market that can mean life or death to a business. 10 stars if there was an option!

Fantastic. Could not fault them at all, Brilliant, 10 year old iMac full of data and they had the data back to me in 72 hours. Communication via e-mail was fast, clear and superb.

Sent them a 4tb WD Red hard drive to recover. They quoted me £588 incl VAT and recovery media. I was a bit sceptical so I asked for it to be returned. First they sent me the wrong hard drive (a 500GB WD Blue). Not too careful about data protection then. When I eventually got the drive back it had been totally stripped and outer casing binned (would have been nice to know about this beforehand). I decided to send it to Curry's PC World. They quoted £90 + recovery media. All data recovered and both hard drives returned within a week. What more is there to say.

Awful communication, I was constantly chasing them for updates on my device. My device was with them days before work was started on it. The data this company couldn’t retrieve was later retrieve by Apple. Waste of a £110.
