Most disk utilities offer excellent preventive maintenance by fixing minor problems that can occur to your system. Follow these tips to help ensure your drive and data safety.
1. Always Save an "Undo" File
Save an "undo" file, a record of the changes the utility has made to your drive, in the event it does not correct your problem. By sending this file along with your drive to us, you help ensure recovery of your data.
DO NOT use a utility program if it does not allow you to save an "undo" file of the repairs it makes.
2. Strange Noises? AVOID UTILITIES!
If your drive sounds or acts erratically in any way, DO NOT USE ANY UTILITY SOFTWARE
Damaging sounds like clicking, buzzing or scraping can cause further damage
Back up your data immediately (if you are already booted up)
Shut down the computer to avoid further damage to the drive and the data
Send your drive to Optimum Data Recovery for professional data recovery in a clean room environment
