Data Recovery in Ashburn, VA

Deleted files, a dead laptop, or a drive that suddenly stopped working? Your data is often still recoverable — but the first rule is to stop using the drive, because every new write can overwrite what is left.

AZ Tech IT Repair in Ashburn assesses the drive first and tells you honestly what is recoverable and what it costs, before any recovery work begins.

What we recover from

• Accidentally deleted files and emptied recycle bins
• Hard drives that click, fail to boot, or are not detected
• Laptops and PCs that will not turn on
• Formatted drives and corrupted partitions
• USB flash drives and memory cards
• Photos, documents, email, and business files

How recovery works

1. Bring in the drive or the whole device — walk-ins welcome.
2. We assess the drive and tell you what looks recoverable.
3. You get an exact quote. Nothing starts until you approve it.
4. Recovered files are copied to a drive you provide or a new one.

Frequently asked questions

Can you recover files from a dead hard drive?

Sometimes. If the drive still spins up or is readable, recovery is often straightforward. If it has a mechanical failure, options are more limited and we will explain them honestly before you spend anything.

My computer says the drive is not accessible. Are my files gone?

Not necessarily. That message often means a file-system or partition problem, not lost data. Stop using the drive and bring it in — continued use can overwrite recoverable files.

How much does data recovery cost?

It depends on the drive's condition and how much data is involved. Diagnosis and quotes are free — you get an exact price before any recovery work starts.

I accidentally deleted important files. Can they be recovered?

Often, yes, if the drive has not been heavily used since. Stop saving anything new to that drive and bring it in as soon as possible.
