Farah got in touch with us after her worst nightmare had come true. After switching on her PC the error message ‘No Hard Drive Found’ appeared, it was bad enough but to make it worse there was over 2 years worth of University course work on the hard drive that potentially was lost as she did not have a back up; this could be a major disaster.

When you press “Save” inside your word processor, in a matter of moments a file appears in your documents folder. Later on, you turn your laptop off, take it somewhere else, and turn it back on. Are you worried that your document will no longer exist? Obviously, you’ve come to know that the file will still be there the next day. But just how does a hard drive work? How is your file stored in a matter of moments and then recalled at a later time?
Computer technology has become a mainstay of our lives. The technology has allowed us change the way that we live and have opened doors that were once unimaginable. We can send videos and photos to friends and family at the click of a button. We are able to send create, edit, and transfer important files and documents without ever stepping foot in the office. Our personal computers hold a wealth of information and catalogue a history of our lives.
Many fear that in the event that their computer is broken, stolen, or mislaid that those great moments and documents are lost forever. Remote data recovery provides consumers an opportunity to recover those files in the event that they are lost on their computer. The files can be backed up at a remote site that can be accessed by the user from any internet-enabled computer.
Click. Click. Click. That’s the horrible sound of hard drive failure.
Many a user has started their computer and heard this sound as they watch the boot process fail again and again. Hopefully, they have backed up crucial documents, data, photos, and video on their computer. Unfortunately, many users never back up, or fail to do it regularly and completely.
Before things get to this point, there are some warning signs of hard drive failure that you can watch for.
While that clicking sound usually means the drive has failed, other noises might tip you off to impending problems. Over time, you become accustomed to the sounds your hard drive makes as it accesses information. If you begin to hear any unusual sounds, whether whirring or extended “seek” noises as the drive hunts information, take immediate steps to back up your data, and speak to a professional data recovery company as soon as possible.
If you’ve ever owned a computer that has failed, you know how frustrating, sometimes terrifying even, an experience that can be. However, if you are one of the fortunate people to know and understand why your computer failed, there is a possibility that you will be able to avoid such an occurrence in the future. Usually, the reason a computer failed is because the hard drive fails. Failed hard drives can happen for a number of reasons, but don’t worry. Just because your hard drive has failed doesn’t mean the information on your computer is inevitably lost.
