Recovery services for new and old media. |
I just had fire or flood damage, what do I do? The best thing you can do is call us as soon as possible. Do not move or try to treat damaged media yourself, especially water damaged items. Each media type: film, photo, audio tape, video tape, etc, requires a different treatment. Some media should not be dried without treating it first. Without knowing the proper treatment and how to handle damaged media, further damage will most likely occur. With water damage items, time is often a critical factor. Days, sometimes hours, can be the difference between saving something and loosing it. I think my digital media is having a problem. With the increase of more manufacturers (often making sub-par media) and more digital media users, we're seeing failure in more DVD, CD and digital memory storage card media than ever before. DVD and CD media failure can be due to burning errors, poor manufacturing, handling, storage or improper labeling. Signs of issues include: DVD's or CD's that pause, hesitate, skip or just will not load at all. Your camera memory card can be physically damaged by static or misuse and some or all of the digital files you know you had on the card will appear to be gone. Accidental erasure or reformatting of your rewritable disk or digital memory card media (which is very common) makes your disk appear to be blank with no reference to any files. FOR REWRITABLE CD, DVD OR MEMORY CARD, DO NOT RECORD MORE INFORMATION OR REFORMAT AGAIN. THIS CAN ERASE THE FILES THAT WE CAN RECOVER. BE AWARE THAT ANY ATTEMPT TO TRY TO RECOVER THE FILES YOURSELF CAN LESSON THE CHANCES FOR A PROFESSIONAL TO RECOVER YOUR FILES. MTS recovery services.
