Before you do anything else

Protect the only copy.

01
Power it down
Every minute a failing drive runs can overwrite the bytes you need.
02
Skip consumer scanners
Desktop recovery apps write as they scan. That is the opposite of imaging a dying disk.
03
No repair, no format
chkdsk, First Aid and reinstall fix the disk; they do not preserve what was on it.
04
Call, then decide
Free triage: lab job, cleanroom referral, or Recovery Studio.

The Sydney lab

One examiner. Read-only from the first byte.

Angus Lewington answers the phone and does the work. Your original is imaged sector by sector; recovery runs on the copy.

Integrity
Image first
Hardware for unstable media. Cleanroom cases referred honestly at assessment.
Depth
Rebuild, don’t hope
Filesystems, RAID members, proprietary CCTV: past where consumer tools stop.
Software
Recovery Studio
The Mac app we use in the lab: own-media work, coverage proof, copy-only export.
