Question 3:
Can all lost data be retrieved?
There are occasions when damage to the data is permanent and a complete
recovery is not possible. Though it is rare that absolutely no data
is retrievable (i.e. low recovery rate), there are circumstances where
the media is extremely damaged on the platter, causing permanent lost of data.
However, not all hope is lost. Together with Seagate’s unique
recovery equipment and procedures, our expert data recovery teams are
able to successfully recover lost data, even in extreme conditions utilizing
SignalTrace.
As promised, should we be unsuccessful in recovering the data you need
due to severe media damage, you won’t be charged a recovery fee!

Question 4:
Can I use disc repair or software recovery utilities?
Before you choose a software utility for recovering lost data, consider
the value of your data. Software can successfully recover data in some instances.
Never use a repair or recovery utility program unless it allows you to save the
repaired or recovered data to alternate storage media. Most importantly,
do not format the drive or change the partitions. Either action can
result in permanent loss of your data.
If your drive makes any unusual noises, do not attempt to use
any type of utility software. Clicking, buzzing, scraping and other metallic noises
may be indicative of mechanical failure. Shut down the computer to avoid
further damage to the drive and its data.
