Dell XPS 8300 and Buffalo HD-PCFU3 Data Recovery

Dell Data Recovery

Hard drive on Dell XPS 8300 PC which is a Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 1.5TB started making a lot of clicking, creaking noises and has now failed and will not boot after start up Windows screen (neither via ‘repair’ or ‘normal’ attempts). Gets stuck on blue Windows background screen (dove and tree twig). On doing Windows diagnostics I get ‘spindle failure’ message error code 2000-0147 though not clear to me if that is supposed to be in the optical drive or the hard drive. On putting hard drive in disc caddy, it will spin and shows up as ‘Drive E’ on new PC but is shown as ‘inaccessible’. I want to retrieve all data from this drive and am looking for somewhere in Manchester to perform the file recovery procedure.

WD My Book ! TB external drive computer does not recognise or second computer has been examined by Discovery Computers in Ashton near Manchester city centre who recommend Data Clinic.

File recovery Buffalo MiniStation HD PCFU3

Buffalo Ministation data recovery

My external hard drive won’t let me access my files through my computer. It says that there is an error, that the hard drive is unreadable. It is a Buffalo MiniStation HD-PCFU3 series 1tb hard drive. When I connect it to my PC the hard drives light flashes and it makes weird clicking noise. It won’t open on a MacBook either, but it shows that the data should be there. I’m living in Bristol and I’m going back to Finland for the holidays on the 16th

500gb internal drive on Buffalo HD PCFU3 ministation currently is RAW not NTFS, problem possibly started from a curupt partition. Local data recovery shop in Manchester says some files are visible but the drive is resetting every 20 seconds so they can’t retrieve with the set up they have.

Contacted Data clinic with my Hard drive Issue. Chris was FANTASTIC !!! Called me back at 10 pm at night !!!! Explained in detail the ins and outs of hardware issues in an easy to understand manner. Arranged for a courier to pick the hard drive up and get it fixed. Friendly, professional and Informative service. Went above and beyond all expectations. Can’t thank you enough. Great comms throughout.

I approached two companies for help with a failed drive and data recovery. Data Clinic was the 2nd company to respond, one day later than the first but still quick in response. Helpful, supportive, calm and non 'pushey' response was a big plus for me, especially since it was going to cost some. I dont know the industry standard for speed of service but a couple of days between pre arranged pick up of my failed drive, getting back an email of drive recoverable contents and receiving back to my home a new drive with my information was a great relief and no hassle. Looks like pretty much all of my data was recovered. Being Joe Public I had some worries and questions, they got answered reassuringly. All in, pleased with the service and thank you DC.
