| Question 3. Can I use disc repair or software recovery utilities? |

| Before you choose a software utility for recovering lost data, consider the value of your data. Software can successfully recover data in some instances. If you have a Windows-based operating system, we recommend ReTriev System solution.
Never use a repair or recovery utility program unless it allows you to save the repaired or recovered data to alternate storage media.
Most importantly, do not format the drive or change the partitions. Either action can result in permanent loss of your data.
If your drive makes any unusual noises, do not attempt to use any type of utility software. Clicking, buzzing, scraping and other metallic noises may be indicative of mechanical failure. Shut down the computer to avoid further damage to the drive and its data. Send your drive to ReTriev Systems for professional recovery in our Class 100 clean room environments. |
