DriveSavers Offers Hurricane Katrina Victims Tips on Recovering Lost Computer Data
DriveSavers is offering to heavily discount its data recovery service to help victims of Hurricane Katrina who have lost their critical files and backups. The company is reducing its service fees by one-third and waiving its typical $200 attempt fee. The discount will remain in effect until further notice.
Novato, CA. (PRWEB) September 4, 2005 -- Many individuals and small
businesses have had their computers submerged in the dirty, polluted waters of
hurricane Katrina.
DriveSavers recommends, at the first sign of flooding,
users should unplug computer equipment and move it to a secure, dry area. If the
computer gets wet, remove the hard drive and place it in a ziploc plastic bag.
Do not allow the drive to "air dry" because this may cause water deposit damage
(oxidation) inside the mechanism. The less handling a hard drive receives the
better. Do not attempt to clean, dry out or operate a wet hard drive. More tips

"Over the years, we have
helped many of our customers retrieve critical information lost to devastation
from fires, hurricanes, flooding and physical destruction," said Scott Gaidano,
President of DriveSavers. "Even if a computer's been submerged in water, we can
still recover its' data. It's devastating enough to lose a home or business but
also losing the data needed to restart your life can be equally devastating.
DriveSavers is dedicated to doing all we can to help."
