Data recovery on the Dell Inspiron 5100
The Dell Inspiron 5100 uses an IDE (PATA) hard drive or a 2.5-inch SATA hard drive, depending on the version. We can usually remove it and work from a copy, even if the rest of the computer is dead.
Hard drives this old often fail mechanically. If the drive clicks, stop using it; we recover files from a copy of the drive.
What we do
Stop using the drive straight away. Every attempt to start the laptop or run recovery software can overwrite what's left.
We diagnose the drive, make a complete copy of it and recover your files from the copy, never the original. Your data is handled in confidence and returned on a new drive or an external disk.
How long it takes. We tell you what can be recovered before you commit to the recovery.
Warranty
