	Can any expert fix my hard disk ?	Theoretically yes, they could. However, they will not have all the necessary equipments to fix the hard drive and recover the data : - Class 100 clean rooms - Test equipments - Data recovery softwares - Servo trackers and servo writers - Manufacturers assistance and support - Training sessions in information technology, electronics and micro-mechanics Moreover most IT experts face hard drive problems only a few times in their whole careers. We face hundreds of data loss situations every week, and this since 1984. Do you need to recover data ? Go to data recovery


	A clean room for my hard disk : What for ?	Medical, pharmaceutical and electronical companies use clean rooms. When offering data recovery services, it is essential to open the hard disk in a very clean environment - with no dust. A seemingly simple electronical breakdown often leads to a more serious mechanical problem. That is why "DIY repairs" often end up in a disastrous disk crash. At Datex, we make a complete analysis in clean rooms in order to determine the best recovery process. Class 100 is required : Less than 100 dust particles of more than 0.5 µm per foot3. Datex has two class 100 clean rooms. Do you need to recover data ? Go to data recovery


	Is it always possible to recover data ?	In some cases, data recovery is not possible : e.g. when the hard drive is totally crashed, i.e. when the plates of the drive are completely scratched. However it is often possible to recover data, even in apparently hopeless situations - e.g. flood or fire... Attention : If your hard drive is clinking or making an unusual noise, a disk crash may occur. In this case, you had better stop the central unit and send the hard disk for repair. Even if there is a chance to recover data, do not worsen the disk crash. Do you need to recover data ? Go to data recovery
