I think my hard drive is damaged and I’ve got important data I don’t want to lose. Can Nexus help?

The thought of losing your precious holiday photos, coursework or any other documents is everyone’s worst nightmare.

Let’s be honest, it’s always when the worst happens you step back and say to yourself ‘Why oh why didn’t I take a backup?’

Hard drives are delicate components, mainly due to the fact they contain moving parts. They can become worn over time or if a computer is knocked or dropped this can also result in hard drive damage.

Signs which can indicate a damaged hard drive:

– Noticeable noise coming from your machine (often sounds like a clicking or grinding noise)
– Slowness on your computer
– Corrupt files which don’t open
– A pop up message notifying you about the hard drive
– Computer not booting

We can help!

Our Technicians are able to carry out hard drive checks and run specialist scans to see whether we can rescue your data. Once we’ve investigated we’ll be able to notify you of the hard drive condition. In circumstances where a hard drive is critically damaged we can refer you to a Data Recovery Lab who’ve successfully helped many of our customers in the past.
