Our Lenovo Hard Drive Recovery Process
Step 1: Evaluation & Diagnosis
We begin by carefully diagnosing the drive. If CHKDSK runs automatically, this often indicates file system damage or bad sectors. We prevent further damage by halting automatic system-level repairs.
Step 2: Safe Disk Imaging
To protect against additional data loss, we perform a full sector-by-sector clone of your drive using forensic-grade imaging tools—skipping bad sectors and retrying unstable areas carefully.
Step 3: Logical Analysis
Our engineers then assess and rebuild the file system structures from the clone. We repair corrupted partition tables, MFT records, and damaged metadata that prevent Windows from accessing your data normally.
Step 4: File Recovery
Once file structures are restored, we extract your data—preserving original folder names, timestamps, and file types where possible. This includes photos, documents, application data, and user profiles.
Step 5: Optional Encryption Handling
If your Lenovo drive is BitLocker-encrypted, we use advanced decryption tools (with the key, if available) to access the encrypted volume and recover the protected files securely.
