Much of our file recovery service is based on manually rebuilding corrupted data from physical or logical errors. RestoreMyData exploits this technology to recover files that have been deleted, changed, overwritten or damaged. We also perform data recovery resulting from tape failures, optical disk, memory stick, zip disk, flash card or other damaged media.

Some clients that have used data recovery software to perform a file recovery have inadvertently destroyed or permanently corrupted lost data files. Even data recovery programs running from a floppy can result in data destruction.

Your data can be corrupted if you have a logical hard drive failure or if a virus has attacked your files. This is because the header information or the crc (cyclic redundancy check) is corrupted.

There are a host of other reasons why corrupt files or corrupted databases can´t open. Most likely the media is damaged, or an electrical anomaly has occurred.
