Looking for Data recovery services, company, center, experts in Nairobi for your computer or phone, or any other gadget ? We recover / salvage / retrie
ve inaccessible, deleted, lost, corrupted, damaged or formatted data from secondary storage, flash disks, mobile phone storage, SD memory cards and other memory card types, removable media or files and hard disks. We recover storage media such as internal or external hard disk drives (HDDs), solid-state drives (SSDs), USB flash drives, magnetic tapes, CDs, DVDs, RAID subsystems, and other electronic devices. You may have lost your data as a result of physical damage to the storage devices or logical damage to the file system that prevents it from being mounted by the host operating system (OS). If you are experiencing operating system failure, malfunction of a storage device, logical failure of storage devices, accidental damage or deletion, etc. (typically, on a single-drive, single-partition, single-OS system), we will copy all important files from the damaged media to another new drive. We have special software and hardware to assist in the process of this recovery. Such cases can often be mitigated by disk partitioning and consistently storing valuable data files (or copies of them) on a different partition from the replaceable OS system files. We can advise on the possible ways to mitigate such scenarios too. FAILED DRIVES DRIVES OR PARTITIONS
If your drive has failed, such as a compromised file system or drive partition, or a hard disk drive failure, and the data is not easily read from the media devices, Depending on the situation, we can repair the logical file system, partition table or master boot record,or update the firmware. We use software-based recovery of corrupted data, hardware- and software-based recovery of damaged service areas (also known as the hard disk drive's "firmware"), to hardware replacement on a physically damaged drive which involves changes the parts of the damaged drive to make the data in a readable form and can be copied to a new drive. If a drive recovery is necessary, the drive itself has typically failed permanently, and the focus is rather on a one-time recovery, salvaging whatever data can be read. DELETED FILES
In a third scenario, files have been accidentally "deleted" from a storage medium by the users. Typically, the contents of deleted files are not removed immediately from the physical drive; instead, references to them in the directory structure are removed, and thereafter space the deleted data occupy is made available for later data overwriting. The deleted data still technically exists on the physical drive. In the meantime, the original file contents remain, often in a number of disconnected fragments, and may be recoverable if not overwritten by other data files. Where data which have been encrypted or hidden, rather than damaged, we also get them recovered. Sometimes data present in the computer gets encrypted or hidden due to reasons like virus attack which can only be recovered by some computer forensic experts. PHYSICAL DAMAGE
A wide variety of failures can cause physical damage to storage media, which may result from human errors and natural disasters. CD-ROMs can have their metallic substrate or dye layer scratched off; hard disks can suffer any of several mechanical failures, such as head crashes and failed motors; tapes can simply break. Physical damage to a hard drive, even in cases where a head crash has occurred, does not necessarily mean there will be permanent loss of data. TWe have means to salvage most, if not all, of the data that had been lost when the failure occurred. Of course there are exceptions to this, such as cases where severe damage to the hard drive platters may have occurred. However, if the hard drive can be repaired and a full image or clone created, then the logical file structure can be rebuilt in most instances. Most physical damage cannot be repaired. For example, opening a hard disk drive in a normal environment can allow airborne dust to settle on the platter and become caught between the platter and the read/write head. During normal operation, read/write heads float 3 to 6 nanometers above the platter surface, and the average dust particles found in a normal environment are typically around 30,000 nanometers in diameter. When these dust particles get caught between the read/write heads and the platter, they can cause new head crashes that further damage the platter and thus compromise the recovery process. Furthermore, end users generally do not have the hardware or technical expertise required to make these repairs. Consequently, data recovery companies are often employed to salvage important data with the more reputable ones using class 100 dust- and static-free cleanrooms. LOGICAL DAMAGE
Result of a failed data recovery from a hard disk drive. The term "logical damage" refers to situations in which the error is not a problem in the hardware and requires software-level solutions
Corrupt partitions and file systems, media errors
In some cases, data on a hard disk drive can be unreadable due to damage to the partition table or file system, or to (intermittent) media errors. In the majority of these cases, at least a portion of the original data can be recovered by repairing the damaged partition table or file system using specialized data recovery software. If parts of files are irrecoverable. Data carving is the recovery of parts of damaged files using knowledge of their structure. OVERWRITTEN DATA
After data has been physically overwritten on a hard disk drive, it is generally assumed that the previous data are no longer possible to recover. With specialized tools, we can irreversibly scrub data. Solid-state drives (SSD) overwrite data differently from hard disk drives (HDD) which makes at least some of their data easier to recover. Most SSDs use flash memory to store data in pages and blocks, referenced by logical block addresses (LBA) which are managed by the flash translation layer (FTL). When the FTL modifies a sector it writes the new data to another location and updates the map so the new data appear at the target LBA. This leaves the pre-modification data in place, with possibly many generations, and recoverable by data recovery software. LOST, DELETED OR FORMATTED DATA
Sometimes, data present in the physical drives (Internal/External Hard disk, Pen Drive, etc) gets lost, deleted and formatted due to circumstances like virus attack, accidental deletion or accidental use of SHIFT+DELETE. In these cases, we have appropriate tools and software to perform data recovery procedures to regain the data. LOGICAL BAD SECTOR
In the list of logical failures of hard disks, logical bad sector is the most common in which data files cannot be retrieved from a particular sector of the media drives. To resolve this, software is used to correct the logical sectors of the media drive. If this is not enough, the hardware containing the logical bad sectors must be replaced. REMOTE DATA RECOVERY
With stable internet connections, we can recover data for you from a distance. However, this is only possible in certain circumstances and we would only ascertain it's applicability after having the full details of the scenario. HOW WE RECOVER DATA
Usually, there are four phases when it comes to successful data recovery, though that can vary depending on the type of data corruption and recovery required. Phase 1
We Repair the hard disk drive when we see the need to
Repair the hard disk drive so it is running in some form, or at least in a state suitable for reading the data from it. For example, if heads are bad they need to be changed; if the PCB is faulty then it needs to be fixed or replaced; if the spindle motor is bad the platters and heads should be moved to a new drive. Phase 2
Create an Image of the drive to a new drive or a disk image file
When a hard disk drive fails, the importance of getting the data off the drive is the top priority. The longer a faulty drive is used, the more likely further data loss is to occur. Creating an image of the drive will ensure that there is a secondary copy of the data on another device, on which it is safe to perform testing and recovery procedures without harming the source. Phase 3
Logical recovery of files, partition, MBR and filesystem structures
After the drive has been cloned to a new drive, it is suitable to attempt the retrieval of lost data. If the drive has failed logically, there are a number of reasons for that. Using the clone it may be possible to repair the partition table or master boot record (MBR) in order to read the file system's data structure and retrieve stored data. Phase 4
Repair damaged files that were retrieved
Data damage can be caused when, for example, a file is written to a sector on the drive that has been damaged. This is the most common cause in a failing drive, meaning that data needs to be reconstructed to become readable. Corrupted documents can be recovered by several software methods or by manually reconstructing the document using a hex editor.
