1 How It's Performed

When the priority is getting your data back safely, the first thing we do is stop using the affected drive entirely and work from a sector-by-sector image of it, so every recovery attempt happens on a copy — never the original — protecting whatever data is still intact from further damage during the process.

Typical time: 2–48 hours depending on damage severity

2 What This Requires

• A sector-by-sector image/clone of the drive made before any recovery attempt — this is non-negotiable, since every recovery technique after this point works on the copy, not your only surviving copy of the data.
• A clear diagnosis of logical vs. physical failure, since the two require entirely different tools and techniques.
• For physically damaged drives: a controlled environment to avoid introducing further contamination while the drive is open.

3 When You Need This

• Files or folders have disappeared, a partition shows as "RAW" or unformatted, or the drive was accidentally formatted.
• The drive makes repetitive clicking or grinding noises — in this case, power it off immediately and stop using it rather than attempting more reads.
• The drive isn't detected by the system at all, or is detected but shows 0 bytes of capacity.
