First steps
What should I do first if a drive fails in Midland?
Stop using the drive and power it down; that is the single most important step before bringing it to Computers To Go in Midland. The moments right after a failure matter, and continued use of a failing or clicking drive can cause more damage. Do not reinstall anything or write new data. Bring the device in powered off and the Midland team will assess it before attempting anything risky.
Deleted files
Can you recover deleted files or a PC that will not boot in Midland?
Often, yes: Computers To Go in Midland regularly recovers accidentally deleted files, repairs corrupted file systems, and pulls data off computers that no longer start up. These logical failures are among the most common data recovery in Midland cases we see, and the odds are best when you stop using the device right away so nothing overwrites the files you need back.
| Situation | What to bring | What happens next |
|---|---|---|
| Accidentally deleted files | The computer or drive, used as little as possible since | Evaluation, then recovery with your approval |
| Computer will not boot | The whole computer and its power adapter | Data pulled off the drive, moved to a new drive or PC |
| Failing drive (slow, errors) | The drive, with no new data written to it | Careful assessment before any risky step |
| Clicking or physically failed drive | The drive, powered off and not rebooted | Honest odds given first; recovery is not always possible |
| Moving to a new computer | Old and new device, or the old drive | Data migrated safely and privately |
