Had a WD mybooklive that stopped working after 3 years. Had about 700GB of data on it. Payam informed me initially that the disk was full of bad sectors and they proceeded to recover all the files. Great job.
My hard disk crashed and I lost everything. I took it to my local computer business that I deal with and they were unable to retrieve any of the disc contents. I had not backed up the disc for the past 8 months or more and had all of my work files as well as family photos and important emails that were lost. I sent the disc to PAYAM and they were able to retrieve all of the contents completely and at an extremely reasonable price. I had trouble retrieving one of the hidden files as I have limited knowledge in that area. I rang Kevin at PAYAM and he walked me through the steps that enabled me to access the file and retrieve the information. I found their service, advice and help to be excellent and would highly recommend them.
I had an old but reliable computer system which I depended on for years, for most of my programming tasks and research work. The processor is a Pentium II 100 MHZ, 8 MB RAM running windows 95 as the main operating system (responsible for booting) together with windows 3.11 for workgroups, with two HDD of 424 MB and 540MB capacity respectively. The two drives C (the master drive) and D were compressed using the MS compression program Drvspace which comes with Windows 95. The compression process yielded 4 drives: C as the master drive, D as the subordinate drive, together with two virtual drives H which is the host for C and G which is the host for D. The system was vigilantly protected and was not connected to the internet. The nightmare started during the completion stages of writing my M.Sc. thesis (the relevant data was stored on the D drive), the system crashed unexpectedly due to a physical problem with the master HDD C comprising some bad sectors. Subsequently the corruption led to the modification of the master disk partition tables, which in turn was interpreted by the BIOS in a manner that led to its failure in finding the system files within the booting sector. Accordingly, the booting process was constantly failing with the message DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER Moreover the data on the four drives was not visible! There was no joy at all, when trying to start the system using a system disk, and when running SCANDISK diagnostics on the C drive, there was the indication that the CVF (compressed Volume File) logical structure is intact, with no bad parts. i.e. the FAT, etc but the directories cannot be accessed, as the drive is dismounted, with the advice to mount the drive through installing Drvspace (already installed). A weak earlier to that event, I heard of PAYAM on the radio with the catching phrase We can recover data that is deemed by many as unrecoverable. Luckily on that day I wrote down their web address. I went to seek PAYAMs services regarding my computer problem. When I first got there, I was given a sheet of paper to describe the problem and list the most important directories to be recovered. I was asked to explain the problem orally as well to a very courteous and good listening member of the team. On that same day I was sent an e-mail by PAYAM, listing and explaining the various methods of advanced software recovery which is on offer, and the agreement terms involved. In few words, the PAYAM team was able to recover the entire data on all drives despite the complications arising from the compression procedure (the data had to be decompressed) and the outdated technology involved. What impressed me the most beside their technical prowess was their quick professional responsiveness to enquiries and questions during the period of recovery. During that duration, I was gravely worried to lose my valuable data, and had many questions and suggestions. A PAYAM team member usually communicated with me through e-mail or by returning my phone call, the very same day I raised an issue or had an inquiry. Moreover, on the recovery day, I had a very pleasant and informative chat with one of the team members regarding the most efficient backup methods and reliable storage devices. I am very satisfied with the result I got from the PAYAM team, I was able to recover data that took many years to collate. and which if lost would have been devastating. I would strongly recommend PAYAM recovery services to all my friends and colleagues when facing similar data recovery problems. I would also recommend them to everybody in need of their services, because from what I experienced, they are simply the best in their field.
Payam did a really good job with recovering my files that were in a portable drive that was damaged. Really glad that I entrusted them to do the job!
After others had a go at recovery of my hard drive but failed I was very nervous, a lifetime of memories could be lost, Payam’s reputation gave me some comfort but the feeling when I saw the first line of their email gave me much elation, We have some good news for you… I guess it can’t work every time but it sure worked for me where others failed. Highly recommend them to recover your treasures if you are in the unfortunate situation I found myself in.
I work for a big a bank (not allowed to publish the name) and the only company we trust is Payam Data Recovery. The guys in IT said they saved us a few times when we had a server crash so when my personal external hard drive fell off my desk and hit the ground really hard – I took it to Payam to have a look. The ground was – it was not as bad as I had thought. They got my photos back in about 2 days and it cost $275. I was expecting it to cost $1500+. Really friendly too from the guy at the reception desk – forgot his name, I think it was Mick
Amazeballs! I dropped my portable drive off my bed and I called Seagate tech support desperate for a way to fix it. They told me to call Payam Data Recovery, the only company in New Zealand they authorized and recommended. I’m glad I called. They were super helpful and it worked out a lot cheaper thank I expected.
I had a failed 2TB portable drive and required the info from it as I had not recently backed it up. I went to Payam Data Recovery who recovered all my information and installed it onto a new portable hard drive. I was kept informed during the process and everything was smooth.
I cannot recommend Payam Data Recovery strongly enough for any data recovery that you require.
I recently lost access to my external hard drive – which cleverly had never been backed up. A lot of data was lost including hundreds of compositions I’d written over the years. My brother recommended PAYAM and I can see why. Fast, free quote, and after accepting the job was completed within a couple of days. The data was couriered back to me on a very well priced new hard drive. I highly recommend these guys, and appreciate the fast service and great communication
About a year ago my younger sister passed away, and a lot of pictures of us were on a hard drive I accidentally put on wrong power supply and burn the PCB. Never really went into recovery, because why should I, is not that it was critical for me. After I lost her, I wanted to recover the images of us as young kids. The website was very clear, and their reviews substantial in my choosing to take my drive here. The team was very friendly and offered great advice. The picture I recovered are worth so much more than I payed. Thank you!
I got 100% of the data for 15 years from my broken HDD here. Thank you!
Payam provided an amazing service. My hard drive had some extremely important documents on there which had not been backed up recently and it would be very stressful if I lost them. They kept me informed throughout the process, and in the end recovered all of the data I needed. They were very professional and did an amazing job. Thanks Payam!
