The computer was fine when we left in one evening. When we turned it on the next morning, the computer did not come up (just blinks). Then we turned it off and restarted. It came up with the message "Press F1". Once F1 was pressed, it came up with the same message "Press F1". That continued for few times. Then we had sent the computer to our IT department. They told us: BIOS: acknowledges Hard Drive. Dell IDE Diagnostics: Error reading drive. Knoppix: No Hard Drive found.

• Thank you for your efficient work in restoring our data.

The hard disk is not powering on at all; after moving from out of state and putting together my computers, I noticed one of my hard drive failed to power up. I tested it several times. Other hard drives worked fine. Also tried it on different desktop computers. I'm thinking the data platters are ok, but clearly power or motor components have failed on this drive.

• Dear Data Recovery Team,
  I'd like to thank you for your great job working on my hard drive and retrieving the data off of it. I got it all back and I think it is pretty amazing what you do. Thanks again!!!
