Local Computer Repair & Data Recovery Services
Bitterroot Data Recovery provides practical, local technology help without the runaround of shipping your computer or storage device across the country. Whether you have lost important files, a slow computer, malware, or a drive that suddenly stopped working properly, we’ll help determine the safest next step.
Logical Data Recovery
Lost photos, documents, business files, or other important data? We perform logical recovery from storage devices that are still physically functional.
- External hard drives
- Internal HDDs with logical issues
- SSDs with non-mechanical issues
- USB flash drives
- SD and microSD cards
- Accidentally deleted files
- Formatted drives
- RAW or corrupted filesystems
Important: If a hard drive is clicking, grinding, or no longer spinning, stop using it. Continued operation can make physical damage worse.

How Data Recovery Works
Recovery should protect the original device rather than put your data at additional risk. Our process prioritizes careful handling and non-destructive recovery techniques.
Free Diagnostic
We evaluate the device and determine whether the problem is appropriate for logical recovery.
Protect the Original
When appropriate, the drive is imaged first so recovery work can be performed without repeatedly stressing the original media.
Recover the Data
The filesystem and available data are analyzed and recoverable files are extracted.
Review the Results
You review what was recovered before payment. No recoverable data means no logical recovery fee.
When Advanced Data Recovery Is Needed
Logical recovery is not appropriate for every failed drive. Physical problems require specialized equipment and clean-room procedures.
Advanced recovery may be needed when a drive:
- Makes clicking or grinding sounds
- Does not spin up
- Has suffered water or fire damage
- Has serious electronic or mechanical damage
Don’t Keep Powering It On
If a drive appears physically damaged, repeated attempts to start it can reduce the chances of successful recovery.
We’ll tell you when a case is outside our capabilities and should be handled by an advanced recovery laboratory.
Secure Drive Wiping
Retiring, selling, recycling, or repurposing old storage devices? Bitterroot Data Recovery provides secure drive wiping for individuals and small businesses.
HDD Secure Wipe
Multi-pass wiping options for traditional hard disk drives.
SSD Secure Erase
Appropriate firmware-based secure erase methods for supported solid-state drives.
Wipe Confirmation

Clear, Upfront Pricing
Every recovery case is different, so we start with a free diagnostic before recommending work.
Diagnostic
We’ll evaluate the problem and explain your options before recovery work begins.
Logical Data Recovery
Final pricing depends on the device, filesystem condition, capacity, and recovery complexity.

Per drive. Pricing depends on drive type, capacity, and required wiping method.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you recover files from a formatted drive?
Often, yes. If the original data has not been overwritten, formatting does not necessarily mean the files are permanently gone. Stop using the drive and have it evaluated as soon as possible.
How long does data recovery take?
Many logical recovery cases can be completed within one to three days, although drive capacity, condition, and the complexity of the filesystem can affect turnaround time.
Do I pay if nothing can be recovered?
No. Logical data recovery follows our no-data, no-recovery-fee policy.
Should I keep trying a drive that isn’t working?
No. If important data is involved, continued use can overwrite deleted information or worsen an existing failure. Clicking or grinding hard drives should be powered off immediately.
