My drive had few partitions. Will I have the access to all of them after recovery?
If the failed hard drive has multiple partitions, after recovery the restored data from each partition will be saved in its own separate folder. That is a basic data backup method we use and offer to our customers.
To move the retrieved data to your computer and organize it the same way before the failure occurred, you will need to prepare your computer first. Take a new hard drive the same or bigger capacity. Partition and format disk the way you like it and install operating system with all your favourite software on clean drive. Then, you go ahead and copy all needed of the recovered files and folders to locations in accordance to appropriate paths on corresponding partition.
HDD Clone
For the most successful recovery outcomes, when all or nearly all sectors from the original (bad) hard drive were accurately retrieved, restored, and placed onto image, you will be offered to order a CLONED hard drive, the exact sector-to-sector copy of your original drive to a new spare drive of the same size or bigger.
What is CLONED Hard Drive?
If the system data on the original drive was intact at the moment of disk's crash, then you will be able to boot the clone drive on your original computer.
If you've succeed booting the clone drive on your computer, it'll mean: no necessity to neither, partition your new drive, nor install operating system and all those applications along with loading the restored data to it. Besides, all data from each partition will be exactly at the same spot as the last time you worked on your computer prior drive's crash.
In the situations, where it appears that the system is corrupted, there is yet the opportunity to undertake the system recovery, by applying the special system recovery techniques.
Once the data recovery process is finalized, data recovery report will be emailed you. Generally, the report shows the recovery results from each particular partition (the file's samples will be included as well). After reviewing the recovery process results you make a decision of which data backup option is the most suitable for your needs. The shipping method of returning the data is all yours to decide on, too.
Safety tips Data Lab
- The most critical moment for data safety is timely turning off your computer.
- Remove the questionable hard drive from the computer and keep it in safe place separately - do not power it up.
- Any tests and repairs of your computer run only with using the new hard drive.
- If it turns out that the computer is working fine with new hard drive, we recommend you to ship the suspicious drive out to data recovery professionals.

Recovering data from a crashed hard drive: Seagate Barracuda 7200.14 the model number is ST3000DM001
The failure symptom is freezing the computer. Froze on Imager. Drive NOT opened. All parts original. Please keep the previous job open. The client has asked the same question about the videos as he did for the pictures. Here is the original question: Could you explain what percentage of the files were recovered and what percentage of the recovered might be damaged? (He wants an estimate of how many videos were recovered).
Thanks for your support in recovering data. We're so happy with your work. Data Lab partner in Baltimore
Failed WD20EADS from HP Personal Media drive
When drive connected to computer via USB cable, the drive is not recognized. Lights come on and it spins. It was tried with another computer and different cable. Same result. Took it to a computer repair shop. He looked at it and said the drive was dead. Original drive, never opened. Files to Recover: Photos. Drive contains only from 500 to 1000 jpegs, I believe.
All pictures were rescued. James Etobicoke
