Need important files from a computer that is failing?
We assess unbootable computers, damaged devices, corrupted storage, and failing drives, then explain what recovery options may be available. Recovery results depend on the condition of the device.

When files become inaccessible because a computer will not start, storage is corrupted, or a drive may be failing, the first step is understanding what happened and the condition of the device. We explain possible next steps before proceeding. Recovery is not guaranteed, and the safest next action depends on the storage failure and the value of the files.
How we can help

- Plain-English explanation of possible recovery options and limitations.
