Data recovery in Dublin — deleted files and failing drives
Deleted the wrong folder, or the drive suddenly isn't recognised? Stop using the device — every minute it stays powered on reduces what can be recovered. I do software and logical-level recovery, and I'll tell you straight away if a case needs a cleanroom lab instead.

Common questions
Can you guarantee recovery?
No honest technician can. I assess first and tell you what's realistically recoverable before you commit — if I can't get your data, you don't pay.
What if the drive is physically broken?
I handle software and logical-level recovery. Cases needing a cleanroom get referred rather than risked — I'll say so upfront.
