Many computers flooded in the New Orleans area. Much of the data on the computers may be retrieved by a data recovery service. Data recovery often involves removing the hard drive from the current machine and get in a working computer to get the data recovery process going.

Hard drives are often able to run for a few hours after flooding. These are electronic devices and require professional data recovery services to get the data safely and efficiently.

The data recovery should be done to another hard drive and or to DVD or CD media. Hard drives that have flooded do not run for long, so get the data while you can.
