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.

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 .. The drive hangs during boot Unable to access data Computer is very slow Problem with Drives We found the problem which is related to the G-List ( Grown defect list )it either becomes corrupt or is not readable. If it is not readable by the drive then the correct translator algorithms can not be run and so the drive slows down or even stops completely. Solution to Toshiba Hard Disk Problem. The solution is very complex and requires specialist equipment to enable rebuilding of the defect maps externally to the drive. However, once this is achieved the data can be accessed and a near perfect recovery is possible. For more information on this problem please visit our Toshiba Data Recovery pages.

Hard Disk Recovery

Data recovery from hard disk drives is one of the most technically advanced operations performed by computer data recovery engineers. Much of the work involves highly skilled engineers that have engineering knowledge of how a hard disk functions. Not only mechanically, but electronically and logically. There are many situations where an engineer will examine a hard disk then find it has to be completely disassembled and rebuilt with new parts to replace the worn parts. This involves opening the drive in a clean room environment. Some drives suffer from Firmware corruption so the engineer will need to know how the individual manufacturer (and in many cases specific model ranges) store the firmware on the drive. In most cases this area is not accessible to the end-user so specialist equipment is needed to access the firmware on hard disks. Also, a drive may be suffering from an electronics problem which will require specialist techniques as many modern hard disks use unique ROM co...

Fake Memory Cards

Fake Memory Cards. After seeing countless fake memory cards received for data recovery, we decided to write some software to help users determine if they have a fake memory or genuine memory card. The problem with the fakes is that they are so good, they actually appear to have the advertised storage space and it even seems that the full amount of data can be written. The only problem, is that the data overwrites some of the existing data rendering the older data useless. Our experiments indicate that (at least with the devices we tested) that the files and folder structures seem to be OK as they list as expected. The problem comes when the memory reaches its true physical limit. At that time, the data starts overwriting at the end of the card. As the file system information is updated, as normal there is no way of knowing, until you open a file that has been overwritten. It has gone, and unfortunately is most likely not recoverable.  Of course there will be exceptions to thi...
