An Overview As To The Reasons Why Dell PC Hard Drives Malfunction:

Unlike Apple Mac computers PCs tend to use a myriad of components that are garnered from a variety of different sources and then put together to make one machine. As a result of this many problems can arise as a result of one or more faults caused by the degradation of components from one or more manufacturers. This is no more evident than in the case of hard drives that are manufactured by a great many companies and then sold on to PC manufacturers. Where one PC in a range may develop a fault on a hard drive another in the same range may develop a different fault because the hard drive was manufactured elsewhere. To this end it is difficult to say that one maker suffers a problem more than another. That said the general problems are physical malfunctions within the hard drive as well as incorrect or corrupted firmware. Add to this the human factor and there are a whole host of problems that can occur. We are here to help if you should encounter such a problem and we can be contacted via www.swanseadatarecovery.co.uk

Dell PC Read/Write Problems And What May Cause Them:

Dell PC hard drives often have physical failings such as spindles and platters falling out of alignment as well as actuator arms that break or twist and Ribbon cables that kink beyond use. We have come across these and many other problems during our 15-year existence and can offer you a diagnosis as to what the cause of the problem might be. And even if we are not in a position to repair the hard drive itself we can certainly help reunite you with your missing data that would otherwise be lost if you simply decided to replace the drive.

Dell PC Hard Drive And PCB Failure Due To Power Surges:

Many of us, either at home or at work, tend to leave our Dell PCs on for long periods of time. Not only does this count towards reducing the lifespan of the computer but it also increases the risk of the PC suffering a problem caused by a power outage or surge. A power surge can damage the hard drive, the CPU, the memory or the motherboard, all of which are key components in your PC and its ability to function. Whereas a motherboard, CPU or memory can be replaced without the loss of data sadly this cannot be said about a hard drive and therefore it may be necessary to call upon the services of us here at www.swanseadatarecovery.co.uk in order to help you recover that data.

Dell PC Onboard Firmware And Software Changes Influencing A Crash:

Problems arising from issues with firmware are common. Whilst manufacturers attempt as much as possible to ensure their firmware programs are correct in relation to their hardware sometimes problems do occur. When these problems do occur where hard drives are concerned the results to the user can be catastrophic. Loss of data and an overall inability to access the hard drive can be just some of the results and as such we are here at www.swanseadatarecovery.co.uk to help should your PCs firmware render your hard drive unusable.

Why Has Your Dell PC Become Unresponsive After An Unannounced Crash?:

Stalling, jittering or completely freezing systems are asymptomatic of hard drive related problems such as bad sectors and read/write errors. Many users think that by performing a defrag or using third party software to try and clean their hard drives this problem will resolve itself. Sadly however this is not the case as a computer that is prone to crashing or ‘hanging’ is in itself a symptom of a degrading hard drive; one that is likely sooner rather than later to fail

Dell PC Repair

Dell have been manufacturing Windows PCs now for some time and in that time have produced a variety of different models including the Inspiron and Dimension series.

As well known and as popular as they models and brands are they are prone to a variety of hard drive problems that if left unchecked can lead to a complete failure of the drive and the loss of all the data thereon.

One of the most problematic of models is the Inspiron 570, which seems to have difficulty holding onto the information on the drive relating to how to boot up the machine. For some reason – and there seems to be no definitive explanation for this – the drive seems to lose the information relating to the booting up of the operating system and therefore tells both Windows and the BIOS that no drive is installed. Indeed there are times when the drive seems to show up as being a completely different drive letter.

For the most part one might think that if the drive appears as a different drive letter you can simply rejig the BIOS to look to this letter for the boot sector but therein lies a problem of its own. The BIOS will look to this drive but find nothing because the boot sector has been damaged and this can lead to the drive simply refusing to do anything other than spin.

With this in mind many people simply carry out a reinstall of their existing operating system, which while ok if you have no information to lose will cause problems if you have valuable private or work related data stored.

Another common problem among these models is the inability for the drives to recognize or remember FAT32 or NTFS file systems. For the most part most Windows operating systems now operate on an NTFS system whilst older system such as Windows 95 – of which there are still many users – operate on a FAT32 system. Regardless of the system type you use the drive may not recognize it and no reason for this is given.

Many individuals report contacting Dell only to find that the manufacturer themselves have no explanation for this problem and can only offer the suggestion of trying to perform a recovery from the partition stored on the drive for the operating system or simply replacing the hard drive.

Again if you have information that you need to protect or need to save then you should contact us here at www.swanseadatarecovery.co.uk where we have had 14 years dealing with such problems across a wide range of Windows PCs including the Dell range. We will be happy to advise you on the best course of action and where possible help you restore your information before it is lost on a permanent basis.

Client Testimonials

“ I had been using a Lacie hard drive for a number of years to backup all my work files, iTunes music collection and photographs of my children. One of my children accidently one day knocked over the hard drive while it was powered up. All I received was clicking noises. Swansea data recovery recovered all my data when PC World could not.   ”

Morris James Swansea

“ Apple Mac Air laptop would not boot up and I took it to Apple store in Grand Arcade, Cardiff. They said the SSD hard drive had stopped working and was beyond their expertise. The Apple store recommended Swansea data recovery so I sent them the SSD drive. The drive contained all my uni work so I was keen to get everything recovered. Swansea Data Recovery provided me a quick and professional service and I would have no hesitation in recommending them to any of my uni mates. ”

Mark Cuthbert Cardiff

“ We have a Q-Nap server which was a 16 disk raid 5 system. Three disks failed on us one weekend due to a power outrage. We contacted our local it service provider and they could not help and recommended Swansea Data Recovery. We removed all disks from server and sent them to yourselves. Data was fully recovered and system is now back up and running. 124 staff used the server so was critical for our business. Highly recommended. ”

Gareth Davies Newport Wales

“ I am a photographer and shoot portraits for a living. My main computer which I complete all my editing on would not recognise the HDD one day. I called HP support but they could not help me and said the HDD was the issue. I contacted Swansea Data Recovery and from the first point of contact they put my mind at ease and said they could get back 100% of my data. Swansea Data Recovery have been true to their word and recovered all data for me within 24 hours. ”
