> Lightning and Power Surges / Outages
Problem Description
It probably won’t be the first thing you think of when your
computer isn’t functioning properly, but lightning and power
surges can damage your drive’s integrity, even when a surge
protector is being used. (It even happened to one of our own office
systems in 2000!) Many people just notice there is a major problem
with their computer one day and don’t remember until later
that there was a major storm the night before.
Lightning and power surges can cause electrical and physical problems
or failure of your hard drive, as well as corruption of data on
the disk. It is very common to have problems booting after a storm
has caused a large electrical surge to race through your system.
Power outages or brown outs can cause you to be faced with what
you think might be lost data as well.

Cause
Intense electric shock or repeated interruptions or fluxions of
electricity are the obvious (once recognized) causes of these problems.
Your modem is the most common component of your computer to be damaged
by lightning, but your hard drive is also at great risk.
Solution
The safest choice for the recovery of your important data is to
call us first. A local computer service shop can usually fix a damaged
computer by installing a new modem or whatever else needs replaced,
but a damaged hard drive will most likely be out of their league
if you want your data back.
There is often some risk to your data in allowing even professional
computer technicians to attempt the recovery of your system when
the cause of the problem is hard drive related. Every time a failing
hard drive is accessed, the chances for more data loss increases.
Even a computer hardware/software professional might unknowingly
damage a drive more simply by running the standard set of tests
on the system. With our professional data recovery equipment and
procedures, we only access the drive once to make a raw image clone
from which we do our recoveries. This is the safest method because
it minimizes wear and tear on the original while we carry out the
rest of the recovery process on the cloned data. This procedure
requires professional data recovery equipment. We offer much safer
recoveries than a simple computer service shop can offer with their
minimal recovery equipment and lack of cleanrooms.
