As an Apple Certified Help Desk Specialist (ACHDS), I excel in troubleshooting, installing, upgrading, and repairing Apple products like Powerbooks, iBooks, Macbooks, Macbook Pros, iMacs, g3s, g4s, g5s, Mac Minis, eMacs, even iPods!

I also specialize in data recovery and backup solutions. If you don't have scheduled backups being executed daily, you are risking a big headache and potentially spending a lot of money. Luckily, I can still help you get your data back even if you don't have a backup!

Flat fee, Risk free,
Hassle free, Data recovery

I'm an authorized Drive Savers reseller, however I offer my clients an alternate to Drive Savers for getting their data back at a reasonable price! My risk free rate for data recovery is what sets me apart from my competition. You pay a flat fee of $300 if your data is recovered - if not, it's free! No hidden fees or charges!*

I use specialized software, computers, hardware interfaces, and techniques to recover your data. Having successfully recovered terabytes of data from hard drives over the years, I understand what to do, and more importantly, what not to do, in order to keep your data safe.

My risk free data recovery service is the ideal alternative to any of the larger data recovery companies, where you'll pay anywhere from $800-$3000. If I'm unable to recover your data, then I can save you 15% with Drive Savers who use clean room techniques to recover your data.

I use non-invasive techniques (I don't open your hard drive or touch the platters within) to access and recover your data. If you care about your data, you
will leave invasive techniques to data recovery professionals who charge the big bucks. These specialized companies use dust-free environments to ensure that your data isn't destroyed when moving your platters.

* If your hard drive is inside your laptop, there is a non-refundable $55 labor charge (for most computers). At this time, I can also install a new hard drive for you at no additional cost!

What steps should you take if you need data recovery?
