MacBook Pro Hard Drive Recovery – Bracknell & London’s Trusted Mac Specialists

At Bracknell Data Recovery, we specialise in advanced MacBook Pro hard drive recovery. If you’ve experienced disappearing files, failed copies, or a drive that’s become unresponsive, this often points to file system corruption or physical degradation such as bad sectors.

Whether you’re a creative professional, business user, or student, our expert engineers are here to recover your data with speed, precision, and care — using non-destructive methods tailored specifically for macOS systems.


Common MacBook Pro Symptoms and What They Mean

Important files and folders disappeared
Often a sign of file system corruption — typically affecting APFS (Apple File System) or HFS+ volumes. The directory structure becomes unreadable, causing files to appear missing or incomplete.

Cannot copy or move files to the drive
Usually indicates bad sectors on the SSD or hard drive, which prevent write operations and can result in total data loss if not addressed immediately.


Our MacBook Pro Hard Drive Recovery Process – Step by Step

1. Initial Diagnostic and Drive Health Analysis

  • We begin with a non-invasive analysis of your MacBook’s internal storage.
  • Our tools assess:
    • Sector readability
    • SMART attributes
    • File system integrity (APFS or HFS+)
    • Logical mount status and visibility

2. Safe Drive Imaging

  • To prevent further damage, we create a read-only, sector-by-sector image of the storage device.
  • Our imaging tools:
    • Bypass bad sectors where possible
    • Apply adaptive reading strategies
    • Log unreadable regions for focused repair

3. File System Repair & Logical Reconstruction

  • We work directly on the cloned image to recover your macOS file structure:
    • For APFS: We rebuild volume containers, snapshots, and user data blocks.
    • For HFS+: We restore catalog files, volume headers, and folder structures.
  • Missing directories and invisible files are restored using forensic-level tools.

4. File Recovery and Verification

  • Data is extracted from the image in full where possible, and integrity-checked.
  • We prioritise recovery of user documents, photos, project files, system folders, and application data.
  • You’re provided with a verified list of recovered files prior to final delivery.
