Data Recovery
The technicians at PC Repair, Inc. are capable in recovering data, in the event of any type of data loss, in most cases.
However as you may find, the difference between the cost of recovery is drastically more than the cost of easily maintained, and easily affordable back up solutions.
The sole responsibility in keeping important data on a computer is to backup, and maintain the equipment that is storing said data (your computer.)

Keyboard Recovery v. Lab Recovery
Andrew Speedie, a security controller for Secure IT Disposals Limited, explains that there are two ways to generally recover data from hard disks – keyboard recovery and laboratory recovery.
Keyboard recovery is only effective when the disk is “mechanically undamaged” and the disk can be plugged into a PC and software can recover the data – and certain stresses, wear, and environmental factors limit the effectiveness of this technique.
Laboratory recovery, meanwhile, “requires specialist equipment” to read disk platters and sometimes has to be conducted by hand, which can take a huge amount of time “depending on the level of damage”. It’s fair to say that laboratory recovery will be beyond the scope and budgets of those looking to recover data from the average hard disk, with Speedie unable to give names of the specialist organisations who can perform such tasks.
Most data lost can be easily avoided by regular maintenance of primary hard drives in your computer, and backup of any and all important data (read: important files.)
