Data Recovery If you answered yes to any of these questions, some of your data is probably missing or corrupt.

A data loss situation is usually characterized by the sudden inability to access data involving a previously functioning computer system. This may be caused by a virus that deleted data or reformatted partitions.

If you receive the following error message "Missing Operating System", it usually indicates that a virus has infected your master boot record or partition table. In some cases it may be caused by a bad CMOS battery that defaulted your BIOS setting.

In some cases, data loss is due to a bad CD, DVD, floppy, flashcard, memory stick, or a failing hard drive. Most hard drives will emit a light mechanical hum that a user may notice under normal operation. An indication of impending failure is when the normal sound changes to louder ticking or grinding noise. This symptom may precede actual data access problems as the hard drive utilizes spare sectors.

Other forms of data loss include accidental deletion of data, accidental reformatting of partitions, and sabotage.

Computer Help U.S. has the forensic tools and knowledge to recover your data even if the hard drive's partition table, boot record, FAT/MTF, or root directory is lost or damaged.

Computer Help U.S. can restore all file types that were lost due to a virus attack, a power failure that caused a system crash, files that were lost due to a software failure, files that were accidentally deleted, or if the drive was formatted.
