MjM Data Recovery Website

Wer'e now in the process of rebuilding our old website.

www.mjm.co.uk

After a lot of thought we have decided to rebuild our old domain .. We first bought this domain in 1994 for our old company 'MjM Computer Publishing' At some point I will write a history of our company,

The site became synonymous with data recovery and helped us to market our business. A three letter domain is very easy to remember and served us well in the early years.

Then came Negative SEO. Our original site was well rankedi n Google's 'SERP' results for years we were no1, 2 or 3 for our major search terms. We suddenly saw this drop, and drop. We checked what was happening and found links from pages where we had not requested them, asking to get links removed was futile as they never even responded. So we set about buying other related domain names and developing sites which would initially rank well, then fall off again.

More recently, Google has updated its ranking algorithms so that bad links do not have as much effect on web pages, good links however still do. We noticed that some of our older sites were starting to come back into rankings and most recently www.mjm.co.uk had overtaken our latest site (www.ukdatarecovery.com) so we have now decided to redevelop www.mjm.co.uk and once this is complete we will turn off the other sites.

So our new URL is: www.mjm.co.uk

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...

Seagate F3 Series of Drives

Seagate Data Recovery Back in 2008 Seagate introduced the 7200.11 F3 series of drives, the range was from 160 GB up to 1500 GB and later 2 GB. Soon after, these drives developed a firmware bug that totally bricked the hard disks. Seagate forums were overflowing with tales of woe. Seagate brought out a firmware update that fixed the problem, but the drive needed to be working to apply it. There was another problem, the firmware fix actually bricked working drives - but only a specific model was affected with the update. Seagate were then forced to provide free data recovery on this model, but left the rest to their own devices. At one point someone made some termminal commands available that could fix the SMART logs and translator problem that cause the 0 MB problems on some of the drives so then they could then run the firmware update. Thanks to that guy many users were able to recover their data. When Seagate bought out the 7200.12 and some later Laptop versions, there wa...
