Lost files, an inaccessible drive or a computer that no longer starts do not necessarily mean your data is gone. I can assess hard drives and SSDs and, where the device remains readable, attempt to recover documents, photographs and other important files. Careful handling is important: repeatedly trying to start a failed drive or running repair software can sometimes make recovery more difficult. Find out more here: Data Recovery.
