What is data loss?

The following are typical characteristics of a Data Loss situation:

• Accidental deletion of data
• Sudden inability to access data from a previously functioning computer
• Accidental re-formatting of one or all partitions
• Hard disk crash or hard disk component failure
• Ticking or grinding noises coming from the hard drive while powering up or trying to access files. This symptom almost always indicates a failing hard drive and is often accompanied by some of the other symptoms.
• Computer won't boot. Blue or black screen after power up. The system will not load Windows or other operating systems
• Applications that are unable to run or load data
• Trying and failing to start an application such as Microsoft Excel or Microsoft Word
• Opening folders that should be full of files but appear to be empty
• Inaccessible drives and partitions
• Corrupted data

NOTE: There are many other things that can happen to a hard drive or media that is more catastrophic, but Speedy PC Solutions does not have the facilities or the expertise to deal with such situations.

If anything of the above happens to your drive, please stay calm and proceed to our “What to do if your data is lost?” article.
