Data Recovery

Dead drive? Deleted the wrong folder? Don't panic — and more importantly, stop using the device. The sooner we see it, the better the odds.

Overview

Geekytek recovers files from failing hard drives, SSDs, USB sticks, and memory cards. We work on a simple principle: no recovery, no charge for the attempt at recovery beyond the agreed diagnostic. You'll get a clear assessment of what's recoverable before you decide anything.

Every recovery is handled read-only wherever possible — we image the device first and work from the copy, so nothing we do makes the situation worse. Recovered data is delivered on a new drive or secure transfer, and we'll help you set up backups so this never happens twice.

What we recover

  • Accidentally deleted files and emptied recycle bins
  • Failing or clicking hard drives and dead SSDs
  • Corrupted partitions and unreadable USB drives or SD cards
  • Photos, documents, and business records from old machines
  • Backup setup after recovery so it never happens again

Frequently asked questions

My drive is making clicking noises — what should I do?
Power it off immediately and don't run recovery software on it. Clicking usually means mechanical failure, and every additional spin-up can reduce what's recoverable. Bring it to us as-is.
Can you recover permanently deleted files?
Often, yes — 'deleted' files usually remain on the disk until overwritten. The key is to stop using the device right away and get it assessed.
What does data recovery cost?
It depends on the failure type. We assess the device first and give you a firm quote and a realistic estimate of what's recoverable before any paid work begins.
