Back to Data Recovery F.A.Q.
Warranty questions
In most cases, we fix the defective HDD (or other media)
only to the extent that we can recover the data off it. It is not advisable
to put the recovered data back on the original drive. We can copy the
recovered data on the CD /DVD or other spare HDD, depending on your choice
and the amount of recovered data.
We don't provide any warranty on repaired drives. Moreover, we do not
recommend using repaired / refurbished hard drive as a data storage. In
many cases "repaired drives" can be used for data emergency
data reading, using special equipment. That's why our customers prefer
to leave bad or dying drives, and data being delivered on new media (on
DVD-R or other hard drive).

From Customer's order
Events:
The computer was on the ground and a person accidentally kicked the side of the computer (exactly where the hard drive is located).
Recovery Attempts (3 months ago):
1.) Used an enclosure to try to extract data. Failed.
2.) Tried to bypass the OS by booting Linux from a CD. Failed.
3.) Sent it to a hard drive specialist's company. They couldn't do it for under $500, so I got it back. Failed.
However, the actual hard drive was never manually tampered with.
After recovery:
THANK YOU! Got it all back, looks perfect...

Failure was gradual, over time system got slower and CHKDSK routine triggered on reboot. System failed to reboot before I was able to back it up; installed Norton Ghost prior to last failure. Note: I have a 3-year warranty with Best Buy, they replaced the hard drive and attempted to recover the data from old hard drive. They weren't successful because they believe there is a controller or drive mechanism problem.
After recovery:
Dear Sirs,
I'd like to let you know that the HDD-clone you made for me worked fine on our computer, everything is up and running like nothing happened. Thank you for the update!
Cheers,
Jim G.

Laptop will not boot; this happened unexpectedly without any related event. Drive makes noisy sound; failed in OS.
After recovery:
Dear DatBit data recovery team,
I just want to let you that I am very satisfied with doing business with you.
Thank you for recovering my data. The clone hard drive is working fine and all my data is back. If you ever need references, please let me know and I'll be happy to talk about my experience with you.
