Q2: What is the
turnaround time for a recovery job? A2:
From the point media submitted to us, an average turnaround time of 2 days may
required (48 hours) and the total turnaround times shall vary and depend on many
factors as below:
-
Degree of corruption of data in either
logical or physical, however, new lead time shall be informed within 24 hours
after the root causes identified.
-
How urgent the customer need to receive the
data (after positive evaluation results obtained). Such cases, generally, an
additional fee of 20%~30% shall be incurred).

your policy in confidentiality? A3: First of all, there will be
Non-Disclosure Agreement signed upon recovery of data. Besides, we ensure a highly secured recovery environment (tools and personnel in-charge)

Q5: If I have physically damaged the hard drive or media, can
you recover? A5: Yes. It's depends
on degree of damage and part of damages, certain damages may harm "on it own
self" and can be fixed quite straight forward, but certain cases can derive some
other problem, specially electrical issue like power surge, for example.

Q6: If
PC recognizes hard disk ID something else (Maxtor Athena, Ares C64K...Primary
master disk failure etc), can you recover? A6: Yes. It depends on each
hard disk brand and model or type of hard disk crash. Typical Maxtor wrong
recognition by BIOS will stand a good chance of recovery as it is one of our
favorite.

Q7: If my hard drive is making noises, can you recover? A7: Yes, please shut your computer
down immediately and send in your Hard Drive. Your hard drive may experiencing
building up bad sector or mechanically error in actuator which need to be
re-aligned. Certain case may cause by slider malfunction (if there is case of
knocking).

Q9: I understand for serious internal
hard disk problem, an appropriate of recovery environment like "Clean room" and
facilities is a must, do you equip things like that? A9:
Certainly. At MDR, these fundamental equipment are important with no doubts, but
not the most... Over years of research and development, innovatively, MDR equips
with numbers of proprietary tools, diagnosis methodologies and documented past
recovery cases. In short, creative problem solving skill become the
secret of each successful recovery job.

Q10: Why the quoted recovery charges
is flat over a recovery job, and not by MB (selected file or folder)? A10:
For any magnetic disc/platter based storage type (such as IDE/ SATA/ SCSI 3.5",
2.5", 1.8") or generally named as "hard disk", the way of storing a single file
in what ever size, is "randomly" throughout the platter, and NOT in
"sequential". Therefore, the effort of retrieving even a few MB of file, may
require the recovery process to go through the entire disc in order extract them
in full copy. Specially in the case of physical crash of platter, the charges based on MB can
be totally unreasonable.

Q11: Why the recovery charges can't be
quoted in exact without go through your evaluation? A11:
For example, a hard drive with "ticking noise", the root cause of damage could
be typically head malfunction, or circuitry problem; and yet these root causes
of defect could derive more variable such as degree of damages on platter (in
the case of collision took place), therefore, without physically approach the
hard drive in clean room, there is no way to quote the fee in exact. However, at most cases, by going through several standard questionnaires during
inquiry stage, we should able to quotes customer with reasonably narrow range of
price even before evaluation.
