EasyRecovery
105 Upper Lisburn Road, Belfast, BT10 0LG

Step 2

We will perform a full diagnostics on the hard disk to confrim what the problem is with the disk and what the best solution is to recover the data. We will then contact you to give you the results and give you the recovery options that are available. We will also confirm price with you at this stage.

Step 3

Once you give the go-ahead for the recovery, we will run the recovery job to extract data. Once we complete the data recovery job we will present the results to you normally via email but also can be completed over the phone. Once you are 100% happy with the results we will back up your data to suitable media.

Step 4

We send the recovered data back to you via a Courier Service. Our aim to send the recovered data back to you within 48/72 hours.

Quantum Data Recovery Information:

Quantum hard disks are well-known for their factory firmware problems. Factory Firmware is stored on the disk platters in the so-called System (Service) Area of the hard disk. If one of the disk modules becomes corrupted the whole hard disk micro-operating system can't boot up, the drive cannot initialise correctly and thus stops working. If you attempt to boot up from such a Quantum hard drive or read any data from it you would get "Disk boot failure. Insert system disk and press enter" or "Primary Master Hard Disk Fail" or "No operating system found" or "USB Device malfunctioned" error or "S.M.A.R.T. Capable But Command Failed" or some other BIOS error.

Currently there is no way to fix this type of firmware corruption at home. It is quite a complicated procedure and requires use of specialised expensive equipment and deep knowledge of hard drive design and data recovery technology.

The No1 issue for Quantum hard drives (especially Quantum CX and Quantum LCT series) is damage to components on the PCB board. Quantum Hard Drives are vunerable to overheating and power surges which can lead to a burned out motor or blowing a controller chip on the logic board. If the chips on the PCB burn out you would smell smoke in the air. On next boot your Quantum hard disk will probably not even spin up.

The Quantum drive can spin up and the head starts clicking right from the beginning with a regular clicking sound . More times than not this a sign of bad heads, if this is the case it is very important to perform accurate diagnostics and eliminate a chance of possible firmware corruption or PCB failure that sometimes could also cause clicking.

The last typical Quantum hard drive issue applies also to all other hard drive makes and models, the problem is called bad sectors. After some period of time the platters were the data is located starts to degrade and bad sectors appear.
Whenever the hard drive attempts to read bad sectors it could start freezing, scratching, ticking and sometimes loud clicking. This leads to further damage to the surface and causes more data loss. As soon as you start experiencing such symptoms while reading important files, stop the drive immediately and consider sending it to a data recovery company like ourselves for a free diagnostic. Any further attempts to read the Quantum drive would just add up to the problems and make more data unrecoverable. In our Data Recovery Lab we use expensive imaging tools that are capable of force reading bad sectors from Quantum Hard Disks. This is usually the only way to effectively retrieve data from these Drives.

As always we are here to help and offer professional advice regarding data recovery. Our business hours are Monday - Friday 9am - 5.30pm. You can also email us at email addresses below if you require a quote via email. The more information you can provide us regarding the hard disk failure the more detailed quote we can provide you.
