The Data Recovery Services of Internet Desk, Inc.
Our Free Evaluation Service is comprised of three layers. We invite you to utilize these free services in your decision making as you work toward data recovery.
A Free E-mail Consultation should be your first step. This is not limited to a single e-mail exchange, but as many as it takes to make sure that we're both on the same page when it comes to understanding your data recovery needs. Please use our Help! E-Mail Form to begin this process.
A Free Initial Bench Evaluation is also available for your use. With your hard drive (or other media) in hand we can, in many cases, quote a firm price for recovery. Prior to accepting this or any other quote, you are under no obligation.
Our "No Data, No Fee" Policy of long standing is still in place. You must know that there are some conditions, however. Here's how it works: If your media is an IDE or SCSI hard drive or other media using a FAT, NTFS, Novel (3x, 4x, 5x), or Linux Ext2fs system of file organization, (RAID systems included) and it passes our free initial bench evaluation as a drive that can be safely accessed using non-intrusive recovery methods, it is eligible for this no-fee-if-we-fail promise.
You Will Not Be Liable For Any Cost that you are not made aware of in writing. No tricky wording at all. If you send in your drive along with the paperwork for a free evaluation -- even if we never communicated in any other way -- you will not be charged any fee without your participating in a written exchange via email or fax that spells out the charges in dollars and cents. You will not even be charged for return shipping expenses on a drive that is sent in for a free evaluation.
Rotate your media
so that you always have at least one backup copy from the previous backup. Many will use daily tapes, backing up on Monday to the Monday tape, Tuesday to the Tuesday tape, etc. That way, if you have a failure and your most current backup is bad, you get another shot with the one that's a day older.
Novel Virus: A novelist, fast approaching a publisher's deadline, discovered that her notebook computer -- which contained all of her writing of her latest novel -- would no longer boot. Ignoring the advise of the computer manufacturer that nothing could be done, she called Internet Desk, Inc. to see what could be done. The data recovery was completely successful -- including virus removal, and the notebook computer was returned with the operating system re-installed along with all of the work done on the novel. As an added level of safety, the data files were also placed on a CD. A novel recovery.

Any backup is better than none.
You can backup your data to tape, diskettes, Zip drives, another hard drive, to a CD, to another machine on your network, and you can even backup your files to a server on the Internet. No matter what choice you make, any backup is better than none at all.
Surveying a Data Recovery: An east Texas surveying and mapping company called with a tale of woe one Thursday afternoon, noting that their IDE drive would no longer work. The hard drive contained years of work, plus CAD files for a job that was due out on the following Monday. FedEx got the drive to us the next morning. The data recovery process began around noon on Friday and went on for many hours -- well into the night. By Saturday morning -- when their anxious call arrived -- it was clear that we would be able to accomplish the recovery of the requested files. A company employee drove to Dallas as we worked feverishly to complete the job. By 5:00 PM the job was done and delivered back to the client, allowing the company to meet their Monday deadline with a municipal client.
