Common Hard Drive Problems

Mechanical hard drive failure and data recovery in a cleanroom

Mechanical Failure

External USB hard drive data recovery involving damaged internal components

External Hard Drive Data Recovery

Dropped or faulty external hard drives may click, run slowly or fail to connect via USB. Zero Alpha recovers data from portable Seagate, Western Digital, Toshiba and HGST drives.

Hard drive data recovery for deleted files and file system corruption

Cleanroom Recovery

Damaged read-write heads can cause clicking noises and inaccessible data. Recovery may require replacing the head assembly using compatible donor parts in a controlled cleanroom environment.

Computer error indicating an unrecognised hard drive

File System Corruption

Accidental deletion, formatting or corrupted partitions can make files inaccessible. Zero Alpha provides hard drive data recovery for damaged NTFS, FAT32, exFAT, HFS+ and APFS file systems.

Hard drive data recovery from bad sectors and unreadable files

Bad Sectors

Bad sectors can cause slow performance, freezing and unreadable files. Zero Alpha uses specialised data imaging techniques to recover accessible data from hard drives with bad sectors and read errors.

Hard drive PCB diagnosis for electronic data recovery

PCB and Electronic Failure

Electronic faults can prevent a hard drive from powering on or being detected. Recovery may involve circuit-board repair or compatible PCB replacement and transfer of drive-specific information.
