Is recovery guaranteed?
No. Success depends on the failure type, previous attempts, physical condition and whether data has been overwritten.
DATA RECOVERY MONTRÉAL
Data recovery in Montréal for HDD, SSD, USB and deleted files
Recovery help for deleted files, formatted drives, failing HDDs and SSDs, USB flash drives and external storage. The first priority is preserving recoverable data before anything overwrites it.
Hard-drive, SSD, USB and deleted-file recovery
Data loss can come from accidental deletion, formatting, file-system damage, a drive that disconnects, an SSD that disappears, or a computer that no longer boots. The correct next step depends on whether the storage device is still readable and whether the failure appears logical or physical.
For important data, avoid repeated formatting, reinstalling Windows, initialization or write-heavy repair tools. Mechanical clicking, severe physical damage or a completely unresponsive drive can require specialist recovery methods beyond ordinary software recovery, so preserving the device condition comes first.
What to do before recovery
Data recovery starts from $70. The final price depends on the storage condition, data volume and recovery complexity. If the files matter, stop writing new data to the affected drive. Avoid formatting, initializing, reinstalling Windows, copying new files to it, or running random repair tools before assessment.
In-person NDG drop-off by appointment
You can also bring your computer in person to 6630 Sherbrooke St W, Montréal, QC H4B 1N7. Drop-off is by appointment; message before coming so the time can be confirmed.
Preventive cleaning is a separate service
If the computer is working but runs hot or has heavy dust buildup, use our PC and laptop cleaning service in Montréal. Data recovery remains focused on inaccessible or lost files.
Frequently asked questions
I deleted files. What should I do?
Stop using that drive as much as possible. New downloads, updates and copied files can overwrite recoverable data.
My external drive asks to format. Should I?
Not if the data is important. Bring or describe the drive before formatting it.
How much does recovery cost?
The base price starts from $70. The final amount depends on volume and complexity.
On-site computer help or pickup in Montréal
Depending on the problem, you can choose on-site computer support at your home or office, or arrange pickup for workshop diagnosis and repair. On-site service is useful for Windows, Wi-Fi, printer, setup and peripheral problems; pickup is often better when the computer needs disassembly, internal cleaning, an upgrade or longer hardware testing.

Data recovery with the safest next step first
When files disappear or a drive stops behaving normally, repeated attempts to open, format or reinstall the device can make recovery harder. Laptop Clinic helps customers in Montréal assess hard drives, SSDs, USB storage and computers that no longer boot, with the goal of protecting recoverable data before unnecessary changes are made.
Recovery starts from $70 and depends on the amount of data, the condition of the storage device and the complexity of the recovery. We explain what can reasonably be attempted and confirm pricing before additional work. For a computer that still works but needs files moved safely, our data-transfer service may be the simpler option.
If the problem is connected to a failing computer rather than the storage device itself, see computer repair Montréal.
SSD, hard-drive, USB and external-drive recovery
Data-recovery searches often name the storage type—“SSD data recovery Montréal”, “external hard drive recovery”, “USB recovery” or “deleted file recovery”—but the important distinction is the failure mode. Accidental deletion, a readable drive with file-system damage, a drive that disconnects, and a physically failed device require different approaches.
When files are important, avoid repeated formatting, repair utilities or write-heavy experiments before the storage condition is understood. The existing data-recovery page remains the single main page for these related storage intents rather than splitting each device type into a thin page.

Mac data transfer and storage assessment
Mac data transfer is available when the source storage remains readable. More complex recovery cases require a separate assessment. View MacBook repair and diagnostics in Montréal.
