Protect the best chance of recovery
What to do when storage fails
Stop using the device if it clicks, disappears, becomes extremely slow or repeatedly asks to be formatted. Avoid installing recovery software onto the same drive.
Deleted files
Stop saving new data to the device because new files may overwrite recoverable information.
Mac will not start
A startup failure does not always mean the files are lost. Ask for an assessment before reinstalling.
Accidental formatting
Do not format the device again or copy anything onto it before seeking advice.
Physical symptoms
Clicking, grinding, burning smells or impact damage require particular caution.
Business data
Explain confidentiality, urgency and any backup arrangements during the first conversation.
Start carefully
Stop using it
Prevent unnecessary writes, scans, installations and repeated restart attempts.

Data recovery questions
Can you guarantee my files will be recovered?
No responsible assessment can guarantee recovery before the storage has been examined. The outcome depends on the fault, damage and any activity since the data was lost.
Should I try recovery software first?
Not when a drive is physically failing or the files are important. Software can stress a failing device, and installing it on the affected drive may overwrite data.
What information should I provide?
Tell us what device you have, what happened, any noises or error messages, what you tried already and which files are most important.
