Maxtor hard drives, like all other hard drives, intermittently fail, and Maxtor data recovery is just one of our fortes. Hard drives can fail for plenty of reasons, and this can sometimes be due to read/write head failure or service track corruption. This sort of damage is usually because of inadequate cooling when the hard drive is allowed to reach a temperature that is well above its optional working temperature. When this type of failure happens you will frequently hear an ominous clicking sound coming from the hard drive with the wrong drive size being displayed when booting up. Such a failure can usually be recovered. If you do experience a clicking sound coming from a Maxtor hard drive, be sure to turn off your computer straight away and contact Intratec.

1. Courier or hand-deliver the media together with a signed diagnosis form (PDF file you can download) to our office.
2. We diagnose and assess recoverability of the media. We will give you a free quotation, which will include the estimated time-frame for recovery, the estimated chance of recovery (%) and whether spares will be needed.
3. You can then make an informed decision to continue. After receiving your signed approval, the recovery process can begin.
4. We will keep you informed of our progress to the best of our ability. Recovered data will be stored on a DVD (if 4GB or less) or a destination hard drive, which we can provide if necessary.
5. If we cannot recover your data, you will not be invoiced for the attempted recovery labour. Any non-refundable fees will be stipulated on the quote beforehand, so there are no hidden costs.

Most of us at one time or another have either accidentally deleted an important file or had one damaged in some way that prevents us from opening it. Twenty years ago, unless you were a computer fundi, that would have been disastrous. If you really know what you’re doing, it is sometimes possible to recover this type of data loss. However, that is not the case with the majority of us, but we can make the job easier for the data recovery experts. How do we do that? By making sure that we make regular backups, either on a daily basis for the files you have been working on, or on a weekly basis. If you do make regular backups it may be possible for you to recover the lost data yourself without even calling in the data recovery experts.
