Data Recovery Diagnositics
Data Recovery Diagnostics
This is intended to be a guideline for determining whether a hard drive is failing physically or if the drive is a candidate for software recovery by technicians in the field.
There are many commercial utilities that will allow users or qualified technicians to recover data from a hard drive that is otherwise inaccessible. Commercial utilities work with varying degrees of success. The question to be asked is when is it a good idea to use these utilities versus when is a good idea to send the hard drive to Data Recovery Group?
Data Recovery Misinformation
In recent years there has been a proliferation of data recovery companies claiming that they can recover data. They claim extremely high recovery rates and very low prices. Many of these companies may be relatively new to the industry and are running commercially available utilities against your hard drive. Their inexperience may cause you to loose otherwise recoverable data.
With over 20 years of data recovery experience, Data Recovery Group has been repairing hard drives and recovering data since 1986 and is one of the first companies to offer data recovery services to its clients.

Effective Dec. 1, 2006, the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure were amended to provide definition, structure and predictability to electronic discovery. For many litigators, the rule changes represent a fundamental shift in the way we prepare for and manage the discovery of electronically stored information (ESI) for federal cases.
Changes to state rules are not far behind. In fact, several states, such as California, Maryland and New Hampshire, are in various stages of implementing rule changes. Similar changes are already in effect in Idaho and New Jersey. While the objectives of the new Rules are clear, the necessary steps to comply with them are not.
