Hard Drive Cloning Services by Capital Data Recovery Inc.

If you are thinking of upgrading your hard drive to a larger one due to low disk space, lack of performance or bad sectors, contact our specialists for more information about our Data Cloning Services.

Our Research and Development department at Capital Data Recovery has developed in-house hardware tools which create an exact sector by sector copy of your hard drive, including the operating system, applications, user settings, and all other data. This new generation of cloning equipment was developed exclusively for our own use, however due to a large demand by our clients we are pleased to offer this service to public. One of the features of our cloning tool is that it does not just clone your hard drive, but it also provides statistical analysis of each sector and verifies the written data on the fly after each sector was written. It also detects slow and bad sectors and switches the tool into a different cloning mode which allows the sectors to be read many times until they are read with no errors. This cloning method ensures that we get information not just from good sectors, but from slow areas and bad sectors as well. These are just a few features that are incorporated in our Data Cloning tool.

Our Data Cloning services allow you to upgrade your hard disk to a larger and faster drive without the need to reinstall the operating system and other applications. If your hard drive shows signs of failing, we strongly advise you to replace it immediately, because your data is worth much more than the price of a new hard drive.

Data cloning by Capital Data Recovery Inc. is an affordable service which gives you a piece of mind as your hard drive will be cloned and tested not just by an IT specialist, but our hard drive experts, people who work with hard drives every day, and people you can rely on.
As a bonus, we offer free evaluation of your new hard drive to make sure it's free from defects. Please see our Hard Drive Certification Services page for more information.

All our customers benefit from receiving valuable advice from our engineers regarding their future hardware. It is our pleasure to help you with your next hard drive purchase.

Hard Disk Error Management and Recovery

Many people don't realize that it is normal for a hard disk to encounter errors during reading, as part of its regular operation. As hard disks are pushed to the limits of technology, with tracks and sectors spaced closer together, weaker signals used to prevent interference, and faster spin rates produced by the spindle motor, the chances of an error occurring while reading the disk go up dramatically. In fact, the state of technology has advanced to the point where it is not practical to even try to avoid them.

Of course having actual errors appear to you while using the hard disk is unacceptable, since you count on your disk reproducing the data you store on it reliably, for a period of years. Hard disk manufacturers know how important this is, and so incorporate special techniques that allow them to detect and correct hard disk errors. This allows them to make faster, higher-capacity drives that appear to the user to be error-free. The more the technology for storing data is pushed, the more sophisticated the error correction protocols must be to maintain the same level of reliability.

Making a drive that actually produced read errors infrequently enough that error detection and correction wasn't necessary, would mean greatly reducing performance and capacity. This is sort of like touch-typing: there's a school of thought that says "if you aren't making any mistakes at all, you're going too slow". If correcting mistakes is easy, as it is with a word-processor, it's better to type 100 words per minute and correct an error or two, than to type 75 words per minute error-free. As long as the errors are detectable and correctable, and they don't occur too often, it's better to plan for them, and then tolerate and deal with them, than to be too conservative in order to eliminate them.

FAT Partition Data Recovery Software

FAT data recovery software is safe, non-destructive data recovery software which helps you to recover lost files and directories from hard-disk and removable storage medium. It provides recovery from data lost due to overwritten, formatted, deleted or corrupted partitions in all logical crashes.

When the software is running, a complete scan of the damaged drive is performed to recover and locate lost or deleted files, folders. After the scanning is completed, found data in the damaged disk is displayed in tree structure and data can be easily transferred to the working disk.

* Software Support for FAT, FAT12, FAT16, FAT32 file systems.
* Provide recovery from deleted, corrupted and damaged files.
* Help in recovering data when your hard drive is accidentally formatted.

Hard Disk Recovery

Hard disk recovery is a service we have been providing for clients since 1999.

There are two main types of data problems - hardware and software.

Software problems present as a disk that is recognised by the BIOS but won't boot correctly, situations where files or complete directories have been deleted or can no longer be seen in the directory structure, the disk has been formatted or similar.

Hardware problems present as a faulty electronic circuit board caused by power spikes or component failure, spindle motor failure, problems within the platter chamber associated with the platters themselves, the read/write heads or the associated electronics.

If the fault is within the platter chamber it is vital that the chamber only be opened by experienced engineers in a "clean-room" facility. We have such a facility, which is fully certified.

Symptoms of hardware problems show up as peculiar noises coming from the disk such as clicking, clunking and whining. Other symptoms show up as non-detection by the BIOS, disk not spinning and obvious physical damage.

IT managers please note that we have developed specialised procedures for dealing with multiple disk RAID arrays.

It should be noted that we never perform data recovery on the actual disk itself. To attempt to do this is to put at risk the integrity of the data to be recovered, as any invasive (writing) process has the potential to reduce the chances of success. Even the attempt to boot a disk is an invasive process.

Our procedure is always to non-invasively create a construct of the client disk, then to create analogs (clones) and perform our analysis on these. In this manner the prime data is never put at risk.

Head crash: notice the visible damage on the surface of the media

We are fully equipped to handle data recovery under any data loss scenario, business or personal. Our rate of success is very high. However, it is well known that some data loss situations are not recoverable, especially in the event of a major head crash. (photo at right)

While our methods of data recovery are some of the best in the market and proven to be highly effective, there will always be scenarios where data cannot be recovered. Any data recovery company claiming to have a success rate of 90% or better is not being truthful. The "head crash" drive in the photo is a prime example of a drive that cannot be recovered due to the extensive damage to the media. Without question, there is no data left to recover.

In order to determine the probability and cost of a recovery situation, it is important for us to examine the failed hard drive or media. We will perform a non-destructive diagnosis which will allow us to provide you with a cost analyses and listing of good files that can be recovered.



What to do if you experience data loss...

1) Turn the computer/disk drive off immediately! Do not power it back on!

2) Do not try cheep or free "do it yourself" data recovery utilities. Attempting to recover data yourself can make a bad situation even worse. The disk or disk drive is most likely experiencing some type of physical failure. The longer it runs, more damage will likely occur.

3) Do not take it to a computer dealer or local service center. Despite claims of data recovery services, they don't have much more capability than "do it yourself" data recovery software utilities. It has been our experience at times to have a client loose everything due to the efforts of someone who is not qualified and does not have the facility/tools required to perform such services professionally. The data could have been recovered had it have been sent in for professional data recovery services to begin with. Click here to read the complete account of a customer who made the mistake of taking her hard drive to a computer service dealer for data recovery. Unfortunately, all data was lost.

4) Do not physically try to disassemble or open the drive. This can destroy all data beyond recovery. This must be done in a controlled static safe, clean-room environment.
