Recovery of data on 1'8 inch mobile device hard drives

We can recover lost, deleted, formatted, or otherwise destroyed data from the small 1'8 inch hard drives that are common in NetBooks, iPods, and other mobile computing devices. Though small, these small hard disk drives contain micro-sized components and are just as susceptible to harmful conditions as any other type of storage media. Shock damage, accidental file deletion or format, damage due to spills or moisture, and countless other conditions can cause data loss on these mobile devices. If you are facing data loss of any nature we may be able to help.

Before you do anything the best advice we can give you to ensure data recovery is to "Stop". Follow the basic steps to ensure no more damage or corruption occurs.

• Unplug the computer or device from the power outlet.
• Remove the battery from the device.
• Make sure everyone in your household knows not to turn on or use the computer or device.
• On a notepad write down what files or documents you need recovered.
