Data Recovery Bolton

Recovering lost files from failed drives, accidental deletion and corruption.

Lost files after a drive failure, accidental deletion, or a corrupted partition can feel like a disaster — but recovery is often possible. Computer Repair Bolton recovers data from failed hard drives, SSDs and memory devices for homes and businesses across Bolton, and we’ll always assess the drive before quoting.

Common Data Loss Situations We Handle

A hard drive or SSD that's stopped being detected
Accidentally deleted files or formatted drives
Corrupted partitions or drives that won't mount
Clicking, grinding or unusual noises from a mechanical drive
A laptop drive damaged by a spill or drop
RAID arrays that have failed or lost a member disk

If your drive is making unusual noises, switch it off and avoid repeated restarts — this can make recovery harder. Bring it in and we’ll assess it before anything else is attempted.

How Much Does Data Recovery Cost in Bolton?

We keep pricing as simple as the situation allows:

We’ll always assess the drive and confirm a price before starting any recovery work — you’ll never be charged for an assessment that finds nothing recoverable without agreeing it first.

Data Recovery Disclaimer

We recover data from a wide range of media, including hard drives, SSDs, USB pen drives, external hard drives, memory/flash cards, and CDs/DVDs. While we do everything possible to recover your data, successful recovery cannot be guaranteed in every case — particularly where the media has already shown signs of physical damage or failure, such as a drive making unusual noises, or a disc that is scratched, cracked, or delaminating.

Please note: if a device has been powered on, tested, or worked on by anyone other than Computer Repair Bolton before being brought to us — including by yourself, a friend, or another repair provider — this can significantly reduce or eliminate the chance of successful recovery. Similarly, further attempts to read a damaged disc, drive, or card before drop-off can cause additional, irreversible damage. We cannot be held responsible for data loss or further damage that occurred prior to the item reaching us.

To give your device the best possible chance of recovery, please let us know at drop-off if it has already been accessed or tested elsewhere, and avoid powering it on, inserting it, or attempting to read it again yourself.
