Computer users often consider lost data permanently destroyed,
with no hope of recovery. And because much of the information
about data loss is inconsistent or inaccurate, it's not surprising
that data loss and data recovery are some of the most confusing
and misunderstood concepts users face.
There are many forms of data loss. The graph to the left shows that 78% of data loss occurs from Hardware or System Malfunction.
If you experience data loss, it is imperative that you stop using the media immediately and contact a data recovery specialist. Continuing to use the media may result in further data loss and minimize the chance for successful data recovery.
