We also recover data from all standard Quantum External Disk systems.

We have been recovering Data from all Quantum systems going back the last 10+ years. Our expertise is 2nd to none and in 95% of Quantum Data Recovery cases we recover all data. We backup our expertise with our No Fix No Fee service so if we do not recover your data we don't charge you.

We recover Quantum systems from all types of operating systems including Windows 7, Windows Vista, XP, Windows 2000, Windows 98, Windows Dos, Apple OSX 10 Leopard, Apple OSX 10 Tiger, Apple OSX 10 Panther, Linux or Unix. So no matter what the file system is, whether its Apple HFS+, Windows NTFS, Linux Ext2, Ext3, Ext4, XFS or ZFS we can recover your data for you. We are also specialists in recovering from multi disk Raid systems and have recovered critical server data for many of the top UK and Ireland companies throughtout the last 10+ years.

Quantum disk's have been extremely popular over the last few years due to their good name and robust technology. While very good hard disk drives, Quantum, like all other hard drives, they do fail. A sudden failure of the Quantum system normally means that the software firmware configuration or electronics has failed in most cases.

Recovery Process:

Depending on the type of Quantum system, the data recovery process can take several paths depending on the Quantum configuration of your system.

In all cases all hard disks sent in for recovery are diagnosed to establish cause of failure. We then go about resolving the hardware or software issue and get the drive to a state that we can perform a 100% image of the disk. We image all hard disks as standard during our recovery procedure. This ensures the intergity of the original hard disk.

We then work with the hard disk image to process the Quantum file system and extract the data.

We recover Quantum systems from all operating systems inclusing Apple Mac, Windows, Linux and Unix systems. So no matter whether its Apple HFS+, NTFS, Ext2, Ext3, Ext4, XFS or ZFS we can recover your data for you. If you are unsure what the file system configuration is we can also determine the configuration for you.

Quantum Hard drive systems support different interfaces. Some of the interfaces supported include: Quantum PATA Drives, Quantum SATA Drives, Quantum Portable Drives, Quantum Mobile Drives,Quantum IDE Drives, Quantum SATA Drives, Quantum SATA II Drives, Quantum SATA 2 Drives, Quantum SATA III Drives, Quantum SATA 3 Drives, Quantum eSATA, Quantum SAS Drives, Quantum SCSI Drives, iSCSI, Quantum ESDI Drives, Quantum Fibre Channel Drives, Quantum USB Drives, Quantum Firewire Drives and Quantum PCMCIA Drives.

Quantum disk's have been extremely popular over the last few years due to their good name and robust technology. While very good hard disk drives, Quantum, like all other hard drives, they do fail. A sudden failure of the Quantum system normally means that the raid configuration or electronics has failed in most cases.

Quantum hard disks are well-known for their factory firmware problems. Factory Firmware is stored on the disk platters in the so-called System (Service) Area of the hard disk. If one of the disk modules becomes corrupted the whole hard disk micro-operating system can't boot up, the drive cannot initialise correctly and thus stops working. If you attempt to boot up from such a Quantum hard drive or read any data from it you would get "Disk boot failure. Insert system disk and press enter" or "Primary Master Hard Disk Fail" or "No operating system found" or "USB Device malfunctioned" error or "S.M.A.R.T. Capable But Command Failed" or some other BIOS error.

Currently there is no way to fix this type of firmware corruption at home. It is quite a complicated procedure and requires use of specialised expensive equipment and deep knowledge of hard drive design and data recovery technology.

The No1 issue for Quantum hard drives (especially Quantum CX and Quantum LCT series) is damage to components on the PCB board. Quantum Hard Drives are vunerable to overheating and power surges which can lead to a burned out motor or blowing a controller chip on the logic board. If the chips on the PCB burn out you would smell smoke in the air. On next boot your Quantum hard disk will probably not even spin up.

The Quantum drive can spin up and the head starts clicking right from the beginning with a regular clicking sound . More times than not this a sign of bad heads, if this is the case it is very important to perform accurate diagnostics and eliminate a chance of possible firmware corruption or PCB failure that sometimes could also cause clicking.

Common Samsung Error Messages:

1. Clicking / Ticking / Scratching / Grinding Sounds
2. Not spinning, Not powering on at all
3. Drive not working after Power Surge
4. Freezing or locking up the computer or buring smell from system
5. Not detected by computer's CMOS/BIOS
6. Water or Liquid spilled on Hard Disk
7. Accidental reformatting of partitions, Accidental Deletion of Data, Virus Problems
8. Hard disk is unable to be accessed ( Inaccessible drive or partition )
9. Unable to boot computer due to system getting dropped.
10. The disk is seen in Operating System but asking to be formatted
11. Front red light on system not displaying
12. Error reporting ' Primary Master disk failed, Press F1 to continue'
