Quick Tips on System and Data Recovery:

FIRST, call the merchant that sold you the PC to see if you are still under warranty, in which case they are responsible for repairs, provided the failure is hardware, not software.  How do you know? Someone has to do a diagnosis.

If either your machine or Windows will not start, it is probably due to one of the following:

  1. Your power supply has failed, as indicated by the silence of cooling fans and the absence of power lights. If your machine is at least 4-5 years old, you should replace it now, and you should not spend any money on repairs as multiple failures will surely follow. All of your data is safe. If you wish, we can help with the purchase a new machine and then migrate your data and programs as well.
  2. The partition has been destroyed, usually due to a power failure or inadvertent discharge of static electricity, or the Windows operating system was corrupted by a write error during a forced shutdown. We will rebuild your partition or reinstall your OS, using your original product key, which we will retrieve from your hard drive. There is no loss of data with either of these services.
  3. Your hard drive has become corrupt due to bad sectors. Like a string of pearls, you lose one pearl, and you lose the entire string. Your data is gone! We can recover data on the non-corrupt sectors.
  4. Your boot reports “I/O error” or “Primary Master not found.” If you need the data, SHUT DOWN! This is the worst possible scenario, but we can fix it! Nine out of ten times.
