GU35 · Bordon and Whitehill
Data recovery in Bordon. A town being built, and the drives that record it.
Bordon's built-up area was put at 10,827 in the mid-2024 ONS estimate, and East Hampshire District Council describes the wider community as around 14,000 people today, growing to over 23,000. The town lies in the civil parish of Whitehill. There has been no station since 1966, so the way out is the A325 onto the A31, and a relief road arrived with the regeneration.

What comes out of Bordon.
Not listed? Try the fault finder →| The complaint | Why it happens here | First step |
|---|---|---|
| A site engineer's laptop holding the BIM model | A town-centre build runs on surveys, drawings and progress photography | Send the drive, not the laptop |
| A drone card that stopped being readable | Progress flights get shot weekly and copied almost never | Eject it and post it as it is |
| A contractor's four-bay NAS carrying document control | Drawings, queries and sign-offs all land on one unit | Switch off before the second |
| A school office server that will not mount | A new secondary and an extended primary both keep records | Post the disks, each marked by bay |
| A GU35 home PC that will not boot | New houses, older computers, one copy of everything | Leave it switched off and ring |
What happens to a Bordon parcel.
Four things Bordon asks.
Bordon has no station. Does that matter?
Not to a parcel. The line shut in 1966 and the 2012 proposal to put it back was never carried out, so GU35 posts its drives like anywhere else: a tracked label from a counter in the town, logged and diagnosed free on the morning it reaches the bench.
The build runs to a programme. How quickly can you move?
Give us the date that binds and the case is ordered against it — diagnosis the day the parcel lands, imaging worked through Mon–Fri 9am–5:30pm, then a finish date you can plan against as soon as diagnosis supports one.
Can a server be read without its original hardware?
Yes. The array is put back together here from images of the disks, so no matching controller has to be hunted down. Send every member labelled with its bay position, and do not let the box rebuild.
Does a damp site drive stand a chance?
Often. Site-cabin kit picks up damp, and damp begins corrosion on a board months before anything shows on screen. Say what conditions it lived in, leave the drying alone, and it is opened under clean air if the platters have to be reached.
