What needs recovering?
Different devices fail in different ways. Choose the right approach before taking action.
A straightforward approach
Tell our advisor what happened and which device is affected.
See when software might help and when to stop and seek specialist advice.
Compare suitable recovery tools or explore professional recovery.
Answer two questions for a preliminary route. This is guidance, not a definitive diagnosis.
Software is suitable only when the storage is stable and readable. Start with a free scan or preview where offered; never assume a paid licence guarantees recovery.

A history of helping people recover what matters
Before becoming a recovery advice and referral website, Datafixer helped customers in Plymouth recover photographs, coursework and files from failed devices. Here are a few examples from that history.
Explore the original independent review profiles
These are paraphrased accounts of historical Datafixer Plymouth recovery work, not direct customer quotations or reviews of the current affiliate service. The overall rating covers all services, not data recovery alone; Yably and FreeIndex reference the same 95 reviews.
Clicking, grinding, dropped or damaged drives, power failures and devices not detected by the system may need laboratory work.
TRIM, controller failures and encryption can complicate recovery. Avoid experimenting when data is valuable.
Do not initialise, rebuild or change disk order on a failed array. Document its configuration and seek specialist assessment.
DataFixer is developing a vetted laboratory referral network. No paid laboratory referral or guaranteed recovery service is offered on this site yet.
Our recommendations aim to prioritise safe recovery. Some software or laboratory links may earn DataFixer a commission at no additional cost to you. We identify paid links when active, and include free alternatives where appropriate. We do not sell recovery success guarantees.
