You walk into the office, flick the switch on your PC, walk over to the coffee machine, flirt with the secretary on the way back and settle into your chair. As you take your first sip you notice a message on your screen.

After checking that there is no "stiffy" in the drive, you try again.

Slowly the truth dawns on you - You've been hit.

"HARD DRIVE FAILURE" / "VIRUS ATTACK"!!

Panic sets in - you forgot to backup that spreadsheet that you have been working on for the last few days - or the accounts - what about those drawings in the CAD programme - that important report for Head Office - your eMail addresses?

CONFUSION!! What next? Reformat the drive and reload your operating system? Phone your neighbour's teenage son?

The possibilities are endless but probably all wrong.

DO NOT ATTEMPT YOUR OWN "FIX"

You may be doing even more damage. Your data is still on the drive and, in most cases, recoverable - anything you do now may make recovery even more difficult. Do not run any disk utilities.

  • The best thing to do now is :
  • Switch your PC off
  • Call in the specialists
  • Sit back - relax - finish your coffee
  • Consider how to break the news to your boss
  • We can recover Data Lost as a result of:
