Step by step, a Chandler's Ford case.

A station that came back in 2003In 2003 Chandler's Ford railway station reopened, having been closed since 1969. South Western Railway operates hourly trains each way between Romsey and Salisbury via Eastleigh and Southampton Central. For the M3, it is junction 12 from the north and junction 13 from the south.
Two employers, two kinds of fileSince 1956 Draper Tools has been registered as a wholesale provider of machine tools on Hursley Road. A pump and water management depot for Selwood is located in Bournemouth Road (part of The Workdry Group). Both produce the sort of records no one keeps twice.
Schools and colleges, term by termLocal secondary schools include Thornden School and Toynbee School, with Barton Peveril and Eastleigh College nearby. The term system piles up registers, coursework and reports, and summer time is the time to expect failure of old servers.

What Chandler's Ford asks us most.

Is there anywhere in Chandler's Ford to hand a drive in?

No. First, you need to get a quote, by phone or with the form. Once you have obtained a quotation, please send your hard drive to Guildford via tracked post. This method does not require someone to be present when the item is delivered. If you would prefer, you can also drop off your hard drive at the Guildford intake laboratory, Monday to Friday, 9am to 5:30pm, no appointment needed. Your complimentary diagnostics begin as soon as your hard drive arrives.

A depot PC will not show its job records. Where do we start?

Turned off. Regardless of which problem exists with your machine, powering it back on again will allow further information to be written to the disk. Please call us and describe what happened, and then together we can determine what should travel and the manner in which it should be packaged.

Can pictures be taken off a card that formatted itself?

Nearly always. Formatting rebuilds the index and leaves the frames where they were, provided that nothing new has been written to the card since. Remove the card from your machine and do not put it back in.

Will someone collect from a Chandler's Ford business?

No. We have no van and no engineer on the road. Tracked post that you book yourself is generally faster and will treat your parcel better, or alternatively you are welcome to drop it off at our Guildford intake laboratory, Monday to Friday, 9am to 5:30pm, no appointment needed. For servers or other oversized items, call us first and we will work out the packing with you there and then.

Chandler's Ford gets a quote and sends the parcel; we do the rest.

Turn it off. Explain what went wrong. Get a free diagnosis before you make any commitments.
