Full restoration of your lost files.
Hardware failures, accidental deletions or corrupted systems: Mathieu Informatique deploys precision protocols to save your precious data in Cannes.
Priority areas of intervention
Accidental Deletion
Unintentional partition formatting, recycle bin emptied by mistake or human slip-ups on SSD and HDD media.
Drive Failure
A slow drive, bad sectors or a drive that keeps disconnecting. If it clicks or has been dropped, I refer it to a specialist lab, with a quote.
Corrupted System
Critical boot errors (BSOD), partitions turned to RAW format or lost file allocation tables.
Why trust us with your data?
Work exclusively on a clone
I first copy your drive with ddrescue, a tool designed for damaged drives. After that, I only work on the copy: the original is no longer put under strain.
Absolute Confidentiality
Your data stays offline throughout the whole process. No cloud transfer, no viewing of your private documents.
Read-only
Your drive is connected read-only to a dedicated machine: nothing is written to it during the recovery. My copies are erased 30 days after delivery.
How I recover your data
A careful approach: I work on a copy so I never touch the original.
Free quote
We chat by phone or at the workshop. A clear quote, no obligation.
I look at the drive
A first examination to understand what's wrong (HDD, SSD, USB stick...).
I clone first
A secure copy of the drive: all the work is done on the clone, not the original.
I extract
Professional software to recover deleted files or a lost partition.
You get it back
Your files checked and handed back on a healthy drive of your choice.
Transparent Pricing

Deleted files, formatting, lost partition, corrupted USB stick or SD card.

Physical fault (a drive that clicks or no longer spins, a fall, water, a dead SSD): the drive has to be opened in a clean room. I refer it to a specialist lab and pass its quote on to you before any work. Free diagnosis in every case.
No results, no charge.
No serious professional guarantees 100% success before examining the drive. My commitment: a free, honest diagnosis, and you only pay for the recovery if your data is saved.(Only the €20 call-out charge remains payable if I collect the drive from your home.)
Drop-off at the workshop in Cannes, Avenue Isola Bella, by appointment, or collection from your home with a flat €20 call-out charge. If the drive makes noise, don't switch it on again in the meantime.
Not in the area? Send me your hard drive, SSD, USB stick or SD card by post: see data recovery by post, anywhere in France.
