Data Recovery: Deleted and Lost Data Due to Failures
Did you format your computer before selling it and forget to disconnect the external drive? Did you accidentally select the wrong partition? Did a faulty power supply fry your disk? Or maybe, in a moment of frustration, you gave your PC a “slap”? Whatever happened, you’re now staring at a black screen, thinking, “What now?” What about the thesis? What about client data?
Data recovery is essential. If there was nothing priceless on the hard drive and you have time, you can try to recover the data yourself. But when potentially lost data holds immense value and the drive damage is severe, it’s better to entrust data recovery to professionals.
If you’ve lost important data or it’s been damaged, don’t wait!

What Happens to Data After Deletion?
When deleting data, the system only marks it as replaceable instead of permanently deleting it. This means that if you add something new and it overwrites the existing data, the existing data will be overwritten.
This is somewhat like rewritable CDs and DVDs. Until you burn new files to the disc, the old files are still there.
Important! If you suspect data loss from a hard drive, leave the media alone, don’t touch it, and don’t use it to avoid permanent data loss.
How to Recover Data from a Computer?
First, determine how access to the data was lost. If you simply clicked “Delete” and emptied the trash, nothing happens. Your data is where it was; it just will be overwritten by new data at the next opportunity. So if you accidentally delete your thesis, don’t panic. Just bring the drive to us, and we’ll recover it for you.
Data deleted or encrypted by a virus is somewhat more challenging to recover. When restoring from a backup doesn’t help, you may need to go to a professional data recovery service in Lublin.
Mechanical failures like impact, crushing, or flooding are more problematic. If the electronics are damaged, an identical disk needs to be found, and the platters transferred.
If that doesn’t work, forensic techniques and high-end equipment may be needed, raising the cost of data recovery to several thousand PLN.
How to Recover Data from a Laptop Disk?
Laptops may have additional challenges if the disk needs to be installed in another device. Laptops sometimes have manufacturer-specific locks. If it’s a company laptop, it may have additional security measures that hinder data recovery.
Recovering Deleted Data from a Memory Card
If you have issues with a memory card, you can try inserting it into a card reader on a computer and using data recovery software like StrongRecovery or EaseUS. However, like recovering data from a hard drive, this process can damage and permanently destroy lost files or make them harder (and more expensive) to recover.
Recovering Data from a Hard Drive for Free – Is It Possible?
Theoretically, this can be done using various data recovery programs, some of which are even free. However, be warned – using data recovery programs requires great caution. It’s easy to make a mistake and worsen the situation, retrieving corrupted files. There are plenty of stories online of people trying to recover data independently and permanently losing it.
From experience, using free data recovery software usually does more harm than good, and its effectiveness is minimal compared to commercial programs.
To be honest, valuable data recovery programs start at 700 PLN, and professional data recovery equipment can cost up to 45,000 PLN. Add to this the necessary knowledge and experience that specialists possess, which cannot be priced.
