Data Recovery, It sometimes happens that when you read a file or an old floppy disk from an archive that it is corrupt or only partially read correctly. There may well be a second identical file stored elsewhere - but how to make one complete good file or disk? A Dubai Contractor had an old logistics program on 5.25 inch floppy disk. An area of the file was corrupt and could not be read from disk. However we found a second copy of this software in a Museum in the USA. This 2nd copy could also not be read correctly. We managed to read both files and merge them into a single program allowing the program to operate correctly. Simply call or email us with details for a quote..

Data Recovery, The Extent File System EFS was used in early Linux/Unix based machines. It is also used on some Philips / Marconi Select CT scanners to store Dicom images on 5.25 inch Magneto-Optical (MO) discs (MOD). We have received Sony EDM-4100C MO disks where the data was not showing and the disk appeared blank. We have recovered the files to CD or DVDs so if you have trouble reading such disks then call us for EFS data recovery..

Data Recovery, PCDOCSE was a document storage archive and retrieval system attached to a database. We have recovered the files stored on Magneto Optical disks and tied these up with the database to restore documents to allow user access. The files were stored on Magneto Optical disks but each disk did not have any file structure and appeared blank in a Windows PC Linux and Apple Mac. We extracted the files, file names and revision number and named each file accordingly. The end result was the client restored these separate files on a Hard Drive Network Storage device (NAS) for sharing among the company employees..

File Conversion, Apple Mac computers sometimes used PICT files to store image, photos or graphics.We have tried some widely available software for doing this and found it clumsy or unrelaible when batch converting from many different folders at once. If you have files spread across a number of folders and require these batch converting to say bitmap (bmp) jpeg (jpg) or other types then call or email us for a quote. Timescale usually 1-2 days depending on quantities..

After recovering some archive images from Magneto Optical disks we discovered they were in Apple Mac PICT format and needed converting for viewing on a Windows PC. There were thousands of Apple PICT files requiring a batch converter - thank you for the conversion which saved us many days work..

Microsoft FILE database was stored on Apple Mac MFD floppy disks. This was a very old database application software which needed to be transferred off the floppy disks and converted for opening on a PC say as text , excel spreadsheet or csv. Just to confirm that the data all appears to be fine. Very many thanks for all your help..

There were 3 QIC files that had been used to archive / backup a Windows95/98 computer in 1980s. The QIC files stored many files and folders and these needed to be extracted so they could be restored on to a Mac computer to allow Word for Mac to open them. The files extracted files were emailed back. Thankyou for your efforts I have now got the extracted files..

There were several old Hewlett Packard hpd. files which needed conversion into readable files on a Windows XP PC computer. The original application used to create the files and the system used was no longer available and probably around 15 years old. HotDocs player and FileCure from Paretologic were both unsuccessful at opening the files. The files were converted to tiff & pdf files. The conversion is great, thanks!.

Audio files recovered that were accidentally deleted from a 64MB xD Card recorded on Olympus DS-2300 Digital Voice recorder / player / dictaphone. The .DSS / Wav (wave/sound) files were mistakenly deleted. The recovery was a big relief. Thanks for that..

I had some old 3.5 inch Floppy Disks which had publishing data possibly created in Word Perfect or Word Star. Unable to access the files atall,. Someone had managed to open a file but it was full of strange symbols/characters. The file is text for a bibliography and may contain symbols from an old keyboard that might not be compatible with modern day machines like Apple Mac or Windows XP. I needed to be able to read the files for editing on a modern computer eg Microsoft Word. Many thanks for these (converted) files..
