Don't run CHKDSK or disk repair tools on a failing drive

Hamilton's student community often reaches for CHKDSK first. On a mechanically failing drive, this makes recovery harder. Call 1 (888) 711-9428 first — free assessment over the phone.

Student Data Loss

McMaster thesis data, Mohawk design project files — accidentally deleted, drive dropped, or laptop SSD failure. Student prices apply the same $49 diagnostic, no-data-no-pay guarantee.

Clicking Hard Drive

A clicking Seagate near Hess Village or Hamilton Mountain is read-head failure. Power off — call 1 (888) 711-9428 before any software. Ship to Montreal for mechanical recovery.

Industrial Drive Failure

Hamilton's manufacturing and steel sector generates enterprise drive failures from vibration and heat. Large-capacity SAS/SATA and RAID arrays all recovered via mail-in.

Accidental Deletion

Deleted photos from your Locke Street studio or formatted an Ancaster home NAS? Stop using the drive — logical recovery success rate is very high when actioned fast.

SSD / NVMe Not Detected

NVMe SSD in a Westdale student laptop suddenly gone from BIOS? Controller failure, firmware corruption, or NAND wear — we recover at chip level via mail-in.

PCB Damage

Power surges near Hamilton's industrial zones can fry a drive's circuit board. We source donor PCBs and transfer calibration data for Seagate, WD, Toshiba, and HGST.

Hamilton Case Study

McMaster University PhD Student — L8S
Samsung 870 EVO SSD, partition corruption

A McMaster doctoral student in the Westdale area lost access to their Samsung 870 EVO SSD after a sudden system shutdown during a write operation. 3 years of research data — including original survey data, statistical analysis files, and draft chapters — were inaccessible. The drive wasn't clicking, so logical recovery was attempted. We shipped them a prepaid label; the drive arrived in Montreal in 1 business day. Diagnostic confirmed MBR and partition table corruption. Full recovery: 100% of files within 48 hours of receipt. Cost: $349.
