Our Data Recovery Services: Comprehensive Solutions for Every Device
Data loss does not discriminate by device type or brand. Our Hard Drive Crash Solutions India covers the full spectrum of modern storage technology, ensuring that regardless of how your data was lost, we have the specialized tools to find it.
Hard Drive Recovery India (HDD)
Traditional Hard Disk Drives are mechanical wonders, but they are prone to physical wear. We specialize in treating “The Clicking Sound of Death motor seizures, and damaged logic boards. Our hard disk crash repair India services involve surgical head-stack replacements and platter transplants in our cleanroom. Whether it is a Western Digital Seagate Toshiba, or Samsung drive, we have an extensive library of donor parts to facilitate immediate repair.
SSD and NAND Flash Data Recovery
Solid State Drives (SSDs) are faster than HDDs but significantly more complex to recover when they fail. When an SSD controller fails, the drive bricks making the data inaccessible. Our HDD crash data recovery India team uses chip-off” technology to physically remove the memory chips and read the data directly using high-tech programmers. This allows us to bypass failed controllers and encrypted locks that stop other recovery companies in their tracks.
RAID and Enterprise Server Recovery
For businesses, a server failure is a Tier-1 emergency. We provide Emergency Data Recovery for environments. We understand the architecture of Dell PowerEdge, HP ProLiant and IBM servers. Our engineers can manually rebuild arrays where multiple drives have failed, ensuring business continuity and preventing massive financial loss.
Video File and Professional Media Recovery
Media professionals rely on us for the recovery of high-stakes footage. If a CFexpress card SD car or external SSD becomes corrupted or formatted we can reconstruct the video headers and metadata. We specialize in professional formats like ensuring that your production stays on schedule.
External Drives, USBs, and Memory Cards
Portable drives are often dropped crushed or subjected to liquid spills. We offer Hard Drive Crash Solutions India for all external devices. Whether it is a snapped USB connector or a “dead” microSD card from a smartphone, our micro-repair specialists can restore the electrical pathways to extract your files.
Laptop Mac and CCTV/DVR Recovery
We provide dedicated support for Apple MacBooks (including those with T2 and M-series security chips) and specialized recovery for CCTV/DVR/NVR systems. If surveillance footage is deleted or a drive fails in a security system, we can often retrieve the video for legal or insurance purposes.
Free Consultation and Diagnosis The process begins the moment you contact us. We offer a free initial consultation to understand the symptoms of your drive failure. You can drop off your device at our service centers or take advantage of our free pickup service. Our engineers perform a non-invasive analysis to determine if the failure is logical (software-based) or physical (hardware-based).
Device Inspection and Failure Analysis In this stage, your drive is examined in our laboratory. If physical damage is suspected, the drive is opened in the We check for platter scratches, head alignment issues, and electronic failures. This diagnostic phase is crucial for providing an accurate success probability.
Recovery Plan and Transparent Quote Within hours of the diagnosis, we provide a detailed report. This includes a list of recoverable files (where possible) and a fixed-price quote. You are under no obligation to proceed at this stage. We believe in “Fixed Pricing”—the quote we give you is the price you pay, with no surprises.
Secure Data Extraction and Verification Once you approve the quote, our engineers begin the extraction. We use proprietary hardware to stabilize the drive and create a forensic clone. We then use advanced software to parse the file system and extract your data. Every file is verified for integrity to ensure that your databases open and your photos are clear.
Data Delivery and Post-Recovery Support Your recovered data is transferred to a new, secure external drive. We provide you with a summary of the recovery and help you verify that everything is in order. We also offer advice on how to reintegrate the data into your workflow and how to set up a robust backup system to prevent future issues.
Issues We Fix Real-World Data Loss Problems Solved
Data loss is rarely simple. It often involves a combination of hardware failure and software corruption. Our Hard Drive Crash Solutions India are designed to tackle the most difficult real-world scenarios.
Accidental Deletion or Formatting It happens to the best of us—a slip of the mouse, an accidental “Format Disk” prompt, or a Shift+Delete that bypasses the bin. When you delete a file, the data stays on the drive, but the “index” is removed. We use forensic carving techniques to find these “invisible” files and restore them to their original folders.
Physical Damage: Drops, Spills, and Fires Life is unpredictable. Laptops are dropped, coffee is spilled, and sometimes drives are caught in fires or floods. These are the cases where our Cleanroom shines. We can clean contaminated platters, replace fried circuit boards, and stabilize drives that have been subjected to extreme physical trauma.
Operating System Crashes and Blue Screens When your computer refuses to boot and shows a “No Bootable Device” or “Blue Screen of Death” error, the drive’s system files may be corrupted or the boot sector may be physically damaged. We bypass the OS entirely, accessing the raw data layers to pull your files without needing the computer to “start up.“
Virus and Ransomware Attacks Modern malware can lock your files or corrupt the file allocation table. While some ransomware encryption is unbreakable, we often find “shadow copies” or unindexed fragments of data that allow us to reconstruct your files. Our Secure Data Recovery India ensures that any malware is stripped away before your data is returned to you.
RAID Failure and Server Downtime When a RAID controller fails or a second drive in a RAID 5 array dies, the volume goes offline. This causes massive business downtime. We specialize in “Degraded RAID” recovery, using software emulators to virtually “re-strip” the data even when the original hardware is missing.
Costs Pricing Insight Transparent and Fair
One of the most common questions we hear is: “What will it cost?” At Lifeguard Data Recovery, we believe in pricing transparency. The cost of Hard Drive Crash Solutions India is based on the complexity of the job, the parts required, and the time spent by our engineers.
Logical Recoveries (AED 300 – AED 800): These involve software-based issues like accidental deletion or formatting. The hardware is healthy, but the data is lost.
Minor Hardware Issues (AED 500 – AED 900): These involve drives with “bad sectors” or firmware corruption that requires specialized hardware to read.
Complex Physical Failures (AED 1,000 – AED 3,500+): These are cases requiring Cleanroom intervention, head replacements, or motor repairs. The cost includes the price of donor parts, which must be an exact match for your drive’s model and manufacture date.
Emergency Services: We offer priority 24-hour service for an additional fee, designed for businesses that cannot afford a single day of downtime.
Factors affecting cost include the drive’s storage capacity (imaging a 16TB drive takes longer than a 500GB drive), the type of interface (SAS/SCSI vs. SATA), and whether the drive has been previously opened by an unauthorized party. We always provide a fixed quote after the free diagnosis so you can make an informed decision.
Tips or Helpful Advice What to Do (and What Not to Do)
The minutes immediately following a hard drive crash are the most important. Following these tips can significantly increase your chances of a successful HDD crash recovery.
What to Do Immediately
Stop Using the Device: As soon as you suspect a failure, turn off the computer or unplug the external drive. Continuing to use a failing drive can lead to permanent “media damage” where the data is physically scraped off the disk.
Listen for Noises: If you hear clicking, grinding, or buzzing, the drive is suffering a mechanical failure. Do not attempt to restart it.
Keep it Cool: Do not try to “heat up” or “freeze” your drive. Sudden temperature changes cause condensation and platter expansion, both of which are fatal to data.
What NOT to Do
Do Not Open the Drive: Never open the silver lid of a hard drive outside of a certified Cleanroom. Dust is the enemy of data.
Avoid “Free” Software: Many free recovery tools are aggressive. They try to read every sector repeatedly, which can “kill” a weak drive that might have been saved by professional forensic tools.
Don’t Swap Parts Yourself: Hard drive circuit boards (PCBs) are not “plug and play.” They contain unique “adaptive data” specific to that individual drive. Swapping them without transferring the ROM chip can make the data unrecoverable.
When Professional Recovery is Required If your data is unique and has no backup, you need a professional. If the drive is making noise, is not detected by the BIOS, or contains critical business information, do not take risks with “DIY” methods. Professional Hard Drive Crash Solutions India is the only way to ensure the highest probability of success.

Case Studies Real Success Stories
Case Study 1: The “Clicking” Creative Portfolio
Device: 2TB External HDD.
Failure: The client dropped their drive, resulting in a rhythmic clicking sound and a “Drive Not Initialized” error.
Challenge: The client was a freelance architect with five years of project files and no backup. A local shop told them the data was lost forever.
Our Approach: We opened the drive in our Cleanroom and found that the heads were bent. We replaced the head stack assembly with a matching donor.
Results: 100% of the files were recovered within 4 days, saving the architect’s career and years of work.
Case Study 2: The Ransomware Business Shutdown
Device: 4-Drive RAID 5 Server.
Failure: A ransomware attack encrypted the company’s accounting database. To make matters worse, one drive in the RAID array was also failing.
Challenge: The company could not pay the ransom and faced total operational collapse.
Our Approach: We stabilized the failing drive and imaged it. We then used forensic tools to find unencrypted “journal files” and temporary database versions.
Results: We recovered 90% of the accounting data, allowing the business to rebuild its records without paying the attackers.
Case Study 3: The Corrupted 4K Wedding Footage
Device: 128GB High-Speed SD Card.
Failure: A wedding photographer accidentally formatted the card before backing it up. Subsequent “DIY” software attempts only found corrupted fragments.
Challenge: The couple’s once-in-a-lifetime memories were at stake.
Our Approach: We performed a deep “RAW” scan and manually reconstructed the video file headers that had been overwritten.
Results: All major video clips were restored in full 4K resolution, providing the photographer with a successful delivery and a relieved client.
