With the increasing reliance by individuals and corporations on the computer and related networks, it can be devastating when a computer malfunction can lead to data being lost, or corrupted. This can be as a result of several factors such as hard drive failure, hardware fault, and accidental deletion of files or even criminal sabotage by a disgruntled employee.

In particular the use of Data Recovery has become more popular in recovering data that has been deliberately deleted from a computer in order that no incriminating evidence is found regarding its user. This is increasingly being used in cases of child pornography, drug dealing, and money laundering, human trafficking and even simply in divorce cases where evidence on a computer has tried to be concealed by the suspected party.

Utilising state of the art methodology and techniques, PC Forensics can in most cases recover lost data and files. Working in a clean room environment utilising dedicated hardware and software, the PC Forensic specialist can analyse the disk and recover the files onto a media of the clients choice i.e. zip drive, CD or another hard drive. In extreme cases where the data is required quickly in order to minimize disruption to the business it can even be transmitted via ISDN to the client's server.
