Top 4 Customer Data Recovery Success Stories from May’25

When data disappears, trust brings it back- Stellar Data Recovery is known to have been doing this for the past 30 years. In the month of May, we received a large number of cases and delivered results at a near-perfect success rate.

Data is more than just files—it is careers, projects, memories, and sometimes crucial business lifelines. Therefore, when disaster happens- a corrupted hard drive, accidental deletion, or dropping the drive, causing physical damage and making the data inaccessible—it feels like everything is at risk. This is where Stellar comes into the picture, with cutting-edge labs across the country. Thousands of people found their hope here. Let’s read about four individuals who shared their data recovery journey with us.

1. From Lost to Found—Accounting Data Recovery

Client: Mr. Lakshya, from Mediratta Saini and Associates

Location: Chandigarh

Device: 1TB Toshiba External Hard Disk Drive

Problem Type: Not Detecting, Physical Complex Issue

Data at Stake: Accounting data, documents, and database

Solution: The experts at our Stellar Data Recovery Center in Chandigarh identified the complexity of the issue. Due to physical damage, the file system was corrupted, which means that NTFS, exFAT, APFS, etc., which store data, have become unreadable.

Our experts opened the drive in the Class 100 cleanroom lab and found that some parts of the platter got minor scratches, making the data inaccessible. Stellar’s technicians created a clone, skipping the unreadable sectors. The recoverable data was successfully extracted.

Meanwhile, we kept our client updated at every step of the recovery process. We realized the urgency of the work and completed the work.

2. When Panic Hits, Stellar Delivered

Client: Kalyan Kumar, Quality Thought Infosystems (India) Private Limited

Location: Hyderabad

Device: 2 TB Seagate desktop hard drive

Problem Type: Drive Undetected, Accidental Formatting

Data at Stake: Personal Data

Solution: Before getting to the point, it’s important to acknowledge our representatives who guide clients through their data recovery journey. One of our customer care executives from the Stellar Data Recovery Center in Hyderabad supported the client during a moment of panic and clearly explained the process.

Our experts diagnosed the hard disk in the cleanroom lab. They extracted the required data and delivered it. As this happens, we keep the client notified about the process.

3. Stellar Recovers 100% Data from Seagate 500 GB Laptop HDD

Client: Dharmender Solanki, Poly Medicure Ltd.

Location: Gurugram

Device: Seagate 500GB SATA 2.5-inch Laptop Hard Drive

Problem Type: Corrupt MBR, corrupt partition structure

Data at Stake: Business files and PST email archives

Solution: Our data recovery experts at Stellar Data Recovery in Gurugram understood the gravity of the situation. We have the essential tools and expertise to handle a wide range of hard drive interfaces. Our experts evaluated the accessibility of the drive, followed by sector-by-sector drive imaging. We repaired the partition tables and reconstructed the data using hex editing. With this process, we are able to retrieve 100% of the data in a readable format.

We created a directory listing, had it verified by the client, and delivered the data within the promised timeline.

4. Flash Drive Disaster Averted—64GB SanDisk Pen Drive Data Recovered

Client: Namala Srikanth

Location: Hyderabad

Device: 4 TB WD External Hard Drive

Problem Type: Sudden physical issues & accidental deletion

Data at Stake: Videos and photo files

Solution: A photographer from Hyderabad just started using a brand-new 4 TB WD External Hard Drive, and after 3 to 4 usages, it suddenly showed a physical issue while deleting crucial data. He nearly missed the deadline, which could lead him to lose several other contracts. He rushed to the local technicians, who gave him a vague idea of data recovery.

In the end, he reached out to the Stellar Data Recovery Center in Hyderabad, not knowing what to expect. But soon after, we successfully recovered his data.
