There's good reason not to panic, because Central IT has years of experience with Data recovery on the Apple Macintosh. We can recover data from damaged, deleted, or corrupted volumes and even from initialized disks and partitions. All types of media from floppy disks to RAID devices can be repaired, and if physical damage has occurred, the defective device can be sent to one of our specialist partners. Central IT has the tools, experience and technique to recover the most valuable element of the computer - your data.

• Never run a data recovery program or restore utility that will write to or change the problem device in any way.
• Do not power up obviously physically damaged.
• Do not power up a failing equipment, such as hard drives that make grinding nor ticking sounds.
• Activate or change the write-protect on any removable media such as tape cartridges and floppies.
• Opening the drive, or exposing hard drive platters to the environment. Hard drive heads require an 'air bearing' only nanometers above the platter to read data, so any dust or contamination can damage a drive head or lead to accelerated data loss.
