Data recovery is a nightmare

English: Logo of Data Recovery Français : Logo...
I never thought it could happen to me, but I was completely and 100% wrong. I was working late into the night on a power point presentation that I would give the following morning at 8 AM. Don't ask why I didn't have it ready before. I went to save it to my USB drive, and instantly my screen went black and I couldn't turn on or get a response out of my computer at all. After cursing and stomping around for a while, I realized that was nothing I could do besides go to bed and give my presentation without any visual assistance for me or my audience.

After all that grief, I realized that I needed some way of instantaneously recovering my data. I originally had a plan, whose name I won't mention, that stopped allowing data recovery for a 30 day window, which happened to be when my computer crashed. There are some data recovery service options such as Data Recovery Group that are perfect for recovering vast amounts of information in a short period of time. What I need though is something that I can personally manage and can get from a variety of sources. This is part 1 of the data recovery series, part 2 will update you on what I end up doing! Let the suspense build! ;)

  1. “Data recovery is a nightmare” - Definitely! It’s like you want to go wild and be mad at your computer, as if it can hear you cursing and see you stomping. Kidding aside, I have actually experienced that situation before. I tried to stay calm and to analyze what to do. After that, I realized I need expert services to recover my data. Those professionals were really helpful!
