Every month Gillware gives away a small prize to the best customer-submitted recovered photo with description. This is our way of showing how much we value and enjoy helping our customers retrieve their precious data. We know that each and every crashed drive is a disaster and we take personal pride in helping you get it back.

If Gillware has recovered any photos that are particularly meaningful to you, send us an email with a one-paragraph explanation as to why the photo is important to you and attach the photo. Just send the email to with the subject "Photo Contest" if you'd like to enter! So get that favorite baby picture, pet picture, wedding photo out - you could be the next winner!

My personal Black Friday came on March 31, 2006. I pressed the on button on my PC and, as I usually do, walked away to do other things while it booted. A few minutes later I went back to the PC and found it was continually rebooting. To make a long story short, the hard drive had crashed.

I had always intended to make a backup but with the PC being only 4 months old, I hadn't gotten around to it just yet. My husband and sister who are both very tech savvy people tried their best to get the drive to work to a point that data could be recovered. Sadly, it was not possible. There was too much on this drive that meant so much to me to not consider professional data recovery.

I searched the internet and called several places. I received vague information that left me not knowing whether the data recovery would cost $700 or $7,000. Then, I found Gillware. Gillware's straight forward approach to data recovery was the only logical choice - one price if recovery could be accomplished and surcharge if cleanroom was required.

The Gillware staff was professional, courteous and thorough. Fortunately for me, all my important data (photos, documents, game files, MP3's, etc.) was recovered and the process was accomplished on a timely basis.

I'm attaching just one of the many photos recovered. It's a picture of my son (not Princess Leah) from his birthday party April 10, 2005. This party is now referred to as his 1st Annual 29th.

I can't say enough good things about the entire Gillware experience.

Thank you,
