Memory Stick Data Recovery

It happens when you least want it. You memory card for one reason or another has stopped working. You may be lucky and find that it is still working and you can run data recovery software on it to get your data back. But what if it is completely dead, the dog has bitten it in half, it's been through a 90 degree wash in the washing machine or it has just plain stopped working?

Never fear, in the vast majority of cases the data is still on there. Its just that it can not be accessed in the normal way. At MjM Data Recovery we remove the physical memory chips and read them, reassemble the dumps into readable structures and then recover the data - it is not a simple process and involves considerable effort.

We started our advanced memory recovery processes in 2004 and have been fine tuning them ever since, almost every week we come up against a new type of wear levelling algorythm but very few get past our techniques and we have happy customers throughout the world willing to testify to this.

Slow Reponding Toshiba Drives

Toshiba Laptop Data Recovery Some problems have been found with Toshiba Laptop drives where the computer will fail with any of the following symptoms ..

Laptop Data Recovery

A large number of computers sold are laptop computers. They are light and portable. Modern laptops contain very large hard disks at the time of writing this article 500Gb are often seen here for data recovery. One of the most common problems we see are drives where the heads have crashed. The main cause is actually part of the design of the computer - remember the bit where I said 'they are light and portable'? It is easy to put the computer on your lap, then when you need to get up, lift the computer up and put it to one side. This movement can cause a head crash especially if the heads are reading or writing at the time. Most manuals that we have seen recommend putting the computer on a firm surface like a desk or a table and in fact NOT putting it on your lap - strange that they are called 'laptops' when it is not recommended to use them as such. Some manufacturers have developed hardware that detects when the computer is being moved and pulls the heads to a saf...

DVD Data Recovery from Video Cameras

Some of our customers that own DVD Video Recording equipment have found that sometimes errors occur that will not let them finalise a DVD rendering it useless.  We have developed a new technique that enables us to recover Video Camera DVD that have not been finalised. The sysmptoms are that when the DVD is placed in a computer it shows as 0 bytes and as if there is nothing on it, and when it is placed back in the camera it shows as unrecorded. The technique we developed involved modifications to a SCSI DVD reader where we can gain direct access to firmware that enables us to read the DVD even when they report as zero bytes. If you have taken your DVD to a computer shop or another date recovery company and they were unable to recover the data, there is a very good chance that we will be able to recover. The technique we have developed also allows us to recover from unfinalised data CD and DVD media. For more information please see our website on :  DVD Data Reco...
