Data Loss Assistance List
When disasters occur, follow these steps to see if you might be able to recover data yourself or if you will need to call in a professional:
-Never assume that data is unrecoverable, no matter what it has been through
-Do not attempt to power up visibly damaged devices
-Do not shake or disassemble any hard drive that has been damaged
-Do not use utility programs on physically damaged devices or if the drive is makeing unusual noises
-For mission-critical situations, contact a professional data recovery company before any attempts are made to reconfigure, reinstall, or reformat
-In situations where the hardware is still working and you are a do-it-yourselfer, consider using data recovery software, but only programs that work in a read only mode and never make changes t othe original data.
