Failed Drives ..

  • Failing hard drives usually present their imminent demise to the consumer far before they actually crash.
    • Many users will start receiving error messages of memory instructions type (0x0000EFD)... and often they experience many of the following "red flags" before actual complete failure occurs;
      • System lock ups that require a re-boot to clear the issue
      • BSOD (Blue Screens of Death) or (in other words) error messages that will appear with a blue screen and white text only notifying you of an error code and possible reason for the system crash
      • Automatic system re-boots.... without user prompts.
        • If they are not the cause of a recently downloaded software program that requires a re-boot before taking effect
        • (or) they are not part of a system software request such as the download and "often required" restart of your system for a Microsoft Windows Update to register the event in your PC so your system can install a recently released security update if required for your protection
    • If your drive is exhibiting any of the above functions, or you are experiencing other errors your hard drive may be crashing!
  • Many drives, once they start exhibiting these conditions will decline in available use. Sometimes the change is rapid (may only get one re-boot and then full failure occurs, or it may take weeks or even months for the full failure to occur.
  • In every event - if you do not have a good data backup of your most important files you may end up losing all data and/or experience a data retrieval scenario!

Data Retrieval Scenarios ..

  • Couri Tech employs the use of a bootable operating system CD (so your drive is not the one we boot too, this allows for us to run diagnostics of binary conversion programs, and if required anti-virus scans to help either remove infections or search the drive for useable data (if it had been corrupted) for recovery purposes.
    • Couri Tech charges a $40 fee for all diagnostics (up front paid fee) - and then run our tools and diagnostics to determine your drives eligibility for recovery using one of our best known practice methods of recovery.
  • If we fail to obtain positive results in data recovery attempts after the $40 diagnostics fee allotted time has expired (time = 20 minutes of drive review), and if Couri Tech determines that we may not be able to get the data you have requested, (or) recover too little data as may be required for a customers to be considered of too little value, we will inform the customer and the customer has the right to stop further recovery attempts.

Some customers opt for further drive recovery efforts even though we do guarantee recover any data recovery using our tools and methods. The customer may opt for continued recovery efforts by Couri Tech and pay the "the posted recovery fee rates" and the customer has the right to limit the amount of fees charged (must be stated to in advance of recovery efforts being performed).

(Or) Couri Tech has also partnered with professional manufacturers drive recovery firms that have "clean room equipment" to recover even "physically" damaged hardware or software.

  • At the customers request we may opt to either open a service ticket with the manufacturers drive recovery team, or at its discretion Couri Tech may instead issue the customer a (Direct) service phone number where the customer may opt to deal with such professional manufacturing facilities at their own discretion.
  • Couri Tech customers are notified of our observances and opinions as to the best possible course to proceed in further data recovery attempts. Couri Tech, under no circumstance will guarantee data recovery is possible in any event. Best industry practices are employed, in all attempts.
  • Couri Tech appraises its customers of possible costs of a manufacturers recovery option as may be associated if our in-store recovery diagnostics results show negative results.

Post Recovery ..

  • Once a recovery is made, it may be in the form of binary files only (strictly not readable by us). Couri Tech will in these cases "attempt" to run a "data conversion filter" on the files.
  • If re-assembled properly - Couri Tech may then further attempt to restore all data back into named folders where they may have originally been saved... (however, this is not a guarantee as names of folders themselves may be un-readable or otherwise un-useable).

Couri Tech does not imply, warrant or otherwise guarantee your data will be placed into the folders it originated from (particularly in the event that folder was manually deleted from the registry, erased, renamed, (root folder) virus infected or otherwise irreversibly corrupted... as may have occurred prior to re-assembly of your data.

Storage on a New Drive ..

Your data may be backed up to an online storage drive if you request it to be done (provided either at cost of storage by Couri Tech - or on customers online web storage folder - post recovery). Once payment has been recorded, you may opt to download all of your files to a new PC (over the internet).

Couri Tech does not imply (and/or) guarantee this method of data retrieval to be 100% secure Couri Tech will use a temporary file space or a one-time password for customers use in data retrieval - Customer files may be downloaded within 5 days of recovery (if this method is opted for) and the data will then be removed from the temporary storage either upon full retrieval or after the 5 day link expires).
