I’m a local Raleigh computer service tech company and we can do fairly simple things. Sometimes this works out and resolves the problems and others? Well, even the professionals need to send stuff out on occasion. The benefit of being a pro?  We know WHEN and WHERE to send these off to get them straightened out ASAP 🙂  Anyway, the big companies in data recovery have highly trained staff and they are continuously improving the process technology and their quality systems. These providers allow their customers to recover every important piece of data from all the popular file systems in case of accidental file deletion, malfunctioning of software, formatted hard drives, damaged or deleted partitions and erased or corrupted by a virus. I recently had a friend call in hysterics assuming the data of her site had been lost. I calmed her and by the next day the site was back up as you can see here. She’s got her own little marketing site…
