| A small firm's external from Bedford Road | Business park units keep their client work on one disk | Turn it off; get a quote first, then send it in |

How a Petersfield case is handled.
Four questions Petersfield asks, answered plainly.
Can a drive be handed in at Petersfield, or must it be posted?
There is no counter here, and we cannot call to collect items. Please get a quote first, by phone or with the form. Then send your drive to us by a tracked delivery method, or deliver it personally to the Guildford intake laboratory, Monday to Friday, 9am to 5:30pm, no appointment needed. Whichever you choose, the price quoted remains unchanged.
Can a school get its records off a server that has stopped?
Usually. A server or RAID set travels as individual bare disks, each clearly marked with the bay number it was removed from. A NAS sends its disks the same way, labelled by bay, or may be sent intact if the disks will not come out. Get a quote first, by phone or with the form, then send the drives rather than the machine, and leave any rebuild alone.
A camera card from a school production will not open — is that fixable?
Frequently. It is usually the index of a memory card which fails first, as opposed to the images themselves, and an index can be rebuilt from what is still held on the flash. The outcome depends on nothing else being written to the card.
Does a GU31 or GU32 address change the price?
No. Memory cards and sticks range from £250 + VAT, a single drive will cost you £300 + VAT, a recorder costs £400 + VAT, and multi-disk work starts from £500 + VAT. Diagnosis costs nothing, and the quote is written before any work.

Petersfield drives arrive after a quote, as parcels, not visits.
