Have you formatted your laptop hard drive?

Your laptop has the most treasured information that you have. At some point when working on it, you experience data loss due to corrupted operating system files or a virus has infected your laptop and you had not installed anti-virus software. Since you hear people format their hard disks, you go ahead and do the same. It is usually important for one to test the laptop after a system crash to ensure that whatever caused the crash is not around to destabilize it again. After the laptop has become stable, one can begin the process of data recovery after formatting.

One way to recover your data after formatting is by doing it yourself. To do the recovery by yourself, upload some non-critical files so that if they become corrupted one won’t lose anything important. This can be done by trying to open and close the files. As long as you do not get error messages saying that the files have been corrupted, the system is probably functioning properly. You can then begin the proper data recovery. All the recovered data is uploaded. Be careful to monitor the progress of the data recovery after formatting in case of error messages that are seen on some files. Note the kind of error messages on specific files and when the upload is complete, carry out individual checks on the files. If this process is not done properly, one file can compromise the performance of a whole program. After completion, one can go through each file to see whether the necessary data has been recovered. The risk involved in performing the above is that you might end up losing your data permanently. Since you are not sure of the problem that caused the data loss, you could end up overwriting information on the hard disk leading.

So, what do you do? The best thing to do after formatting your laptop hard drive is to contact a data recovery expert. The data recovery experts have the necessary tools and technology for recovering your data. Even if the hard disk is physical damage, the recovery experts have tools for reconstruction.
