We also have free software for simple data loss events on removable storage. These programs can restore deleted data and repair corrupted files. Our suite contains software for external hard drives, media cards, and flash drives. It also includes tools for CDs and DVDs, diskettes, and removable media found in Zip, Jaz, Clik, LS-240, SyQuest, or Sparq systems. They are a viable option for cases with a clear cause of data loss from logical errors. Here are some tips for successful use:

  1. Stop recording data on the CD, floppy disk, or other media. Saving new data to the media could overwrite stored files.
  2. Inspect the media. Running software on damaged media can worsen data loss. Contact a data recovery service to retrieve files if there are signs of physical damage.
  3. If safe, use the buttons below to install the program to a PC with Windows 2000 or later.
  4. Connect the media to the computer and scan it. Save recoverable data to a different device or thumb drive than the affected media.

Still do not see lost files? Do not give up. Your storage might have a more severe issue that our experts can resolve. Call us or request help to start a case and reclaim important data.

Note: Pick the appropriate program from our suite. Use the Hard Drive tool for external HDDs. SD cards and USB drives require Flash. We designed the CD and DVD software for optical media. Standard floppy disks should use the tool for Diskettes. More recent legacy systems require Removable Media.

These guys are really a lifesaver when it comes to data recovery. Had a thumb drive loaded with years worth of creative work (writing) for a screenplay idea I''ve been working on. The drive finally took a dump, sustaining considerable damage and corruption. After getting quote ranges that went as high as $8000, I was blessed with finding this company in Ohio. I spoke with Kyle, one of their repres... Read More

Senior Pictures

I am incredibly grateful for the work done at Secure Data. Our photographer for my daughter''s senior photos had an SD card issue and could not produce the outdoor photos taken at sunset at the lake my daughter grew up going to. He had a few companies try to pull the photos and they were not able to. I used Secure Data several years back with excellent results so I knew, if I wanted to see her ... Read More

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How much does data recovery cost?

    Costs vary. The total depends on the media type, failure scenario, and time investment to recover the lost data. We perform free diagnostics with our standard service and present no-risk quotes to clients. Our service will not exceed that amount. Payment is due upon proof of recovery. You can contact us to discuss our services in detail.

    Yes. We have decades of experience with SD cards, USB drives, and legacy storage systems. Our certified engineers can resolve the most complex data loss cases involving removable media regardless of brand or file system.

  • Are your results guaranteed?

    Yes. That’s our No Data, No Recovery Fee guarantee. We restore your files, or you pay nothing.
