Logical vs. Physical Failure — What’s the Difference?
Logical Failure (High Recovery Rate)
Corrupted files, deleted data, OS crashes, formatting accidents, virus damage. The drive hardware is fine — it is the data structure that is broken. These are recoverable in most cases.
Physical Failure (Depends on Damage)
Clicking sounds, drive not spinning, flood or fire damage. The drive hardware itself has failed. Severe cases may require a specialized lab — we will tell you honestly which situation you are in before any charges.

Data Recovery FAQ — Reno, NV
Can you recover data from a crashed hard drive in Reno?
In many cases, yes. Logical failures have a high recovery rate. Physical failures depend on the extent of the damage — we will tell you honestly which situation you are in before any work begins.
How much does data recovery cost in Reno?
Cost depends on the type of failure and how much data needs to be recovered. Contact us for a free assessment. We do not charge for recovery attempts that do not succeed on logical failures.
My laptop won’t turn on — can you get my files off it?
Yes. This is one of the most common data recovery scenarios. We can often pull your data even when the operating system is completely dead, as long as the drive itself is intact.
Can you recover deleted photos in Reno?
In many cases yes. If the files were recently deleted and the drive has not been heavily written to since, photo recovery has a good success rate. Contact us as soon as possible — the sooner the better.
Should I keep trying to turn on my failed computer?
No — stop immediately. Repeated power cycles on a failing drive can cause permanent damage and reduce your recovery odds significantly. Contact us first before doing anything else.
