Pioneer Information Solutions came to the rescue again at out of office time to help restore backup. Dhiraj was very professional and help diagnose the problem and within half an hour all was done and most importantly at no cost for a returning customer. Great service, communication and support as always.

2019.07.17 12:13

Super and extremely quick support! My laptop was extremely slow and could barely use it. I contacted Danielle at Cravitz Ltd and quoted me a great price and managed to speed up remotely so she didn't even need to come and pick my laptop up! Highly recommend

Couldn't ask for anything more! My laptop didn't turn on and Cravitz Ltd managed to recover all my pictures and files! So happy, thank you!!

Reviews about «PCGuys»
The hard drive of my laptop crashed while I was working and I had the urgency to have my laptop fixed as soon as possible.
However, I had to deal with extremely unprofessional technicians that were unable to solve my problem on time.
One of them even came to my place with the wrong new hard drive while what kind of part was needed had been specified in detail.
All those experiences led me to think that finding a real professional in Borehamwood was like digging rocks to find gold.
Thus, with the willingness to give this town the last chance and save my time without going to London, I contacted Steve.
He promptly ordered a new drive for my laptop and in a couple of hours he made my 2 years old laptop better than a new one.
I do not have any reservation in suggesting Steve (PC Guys) for any inconvenience you might have with your computer or laptop.
He is not the kind of guy who charges you just to get your money. He will turn your almost dead machine into a gold mine of opportunities and technological excellence.
I will never doubt about his professionalism anymore.
Instead, I will suggest him to anyone who wants to deal with an excellent technician who likes pioneering positive perfectionism and serving his customers with the best solution they could have never imagined.
2017.07.07 15:41
I have just received my computer back from being fixed by PC Guys. I have known Steven for many years and he has been my saviour on many occasions over the years. This is the first time I have left feed back. I would and have recommended PC Guys to any of my friends and family.
2017.08.05 17:04
I have used PCguys for many years to fix various computers. They have always been prompt and exemplary in their work. I would recommend them to anyone.
2017.08.05 22:45

Popped in with a hard drive question. Spent time explaining and outlined possible fixes for me to think about. Good place for basic issues.

Good price and my laptop works now. 👍
2019.07.11 15:18
Very good PC shop this guy has been here for years and knows exactly what he’s doing if you want your computer fixed in a professional way then do not hesitate to call this establishment and they will resolve all issues with your PC laptop or computer devices
2018.06.02 20:20
Gave sound advice on my next Laptop Purchase (for my requirements). Saved me pounds as I didn't need all the "bells and Whistles" of a super dooper gaming laptop. Later took care of the data transfer/backup/others for a much cheaper-quicker (3hours turnaround) rate then the big PC players. Usually don't do reviews. Highly recommend.

I took my laptop into CUBS today, (I've bought computer spares here before). Alex was able to repair it while I waited. He was knowledgable, efficient, caring and gave outstanding service. I highly recommend CUBS for repairs, spares and all your computer needs
2018.06.19 13:10
Excellent helpful folks
2019.04.20 10:52
Have used them twice now once to sort an external hard drive issue, and more recently to repair a cracked iPhone screen :( and overheating laptop. I was able to drop them in the same day i called with the enquiry, and both were repaired very quickly. Always polite and helpful. Will definitely be using again. Well hopefully nothing will break for a while but if it does .... Will come to these guys! Good prices, good service.
2016.09.15 17:52
Lovely, friendly people working there, but they completely overcharged me compared to the prices on their website, and any attempts at making contact with them have been ignored. Won't be using this place again, but I still wish them well.

Reviews about «Zenith Multimedia Services»
Poor customer care lost 15 years worth of photos which could have been easily avoided if they had simply backed up files from the start which I think is basic stuff for a professional
thank you for responding i would like to take you up on your offer of help ,i would like to recover the photographs and data you lost off of my old hard drive ,i found only 1 company who can recover the data and they have quoted me £500 plus vat ,please respond thankyou
2019.06.07 14:14
Terrible expirence. They needed my password to do a simple iPhone screen repair, this is highly unusual and I’ve never heard of this happening anywhere else. The phone had one screen repair previously, this was done by Apple. Apparently this was so perplexing to Zenith that they messed up the repair an had my phone for a week! Absolutely useless. Do not use this company, the customer service is atrocious. GO ANYWHERE ELSE!
2019.03.31 19:08
Appalling service. I brought my laptop tin to have the charger tested as I thought it was faulty. Ash informed me that they didn't have a similar one in stock but would order one and call me. I then had to visit my sick mother, urgently, and the laptop ended up being with Ash for a good 3 weeks (Luckily it's not my 'work' computer.) When I got back I was told that it wasn't the charger and the laptop was completely non functional but that the data could be put on a USB. I agreed, was told this would be about 2 days so 4/5 days later I went to collect said laptop and USB. It hadn't been done as 'we are very busy, it's coming near Christmas etc etc. As an advocate of independent business, especially on our high streets, I told Ash not to worry I would collect it after Christmas.
I went back around 23nd Jan, not ready but definitely the next day, next day told come back in 30mins. Then told data can't be transferred 'here is your laptop' I asked for the charger but was told, by Ash's colleague' that I hadn't brought it in. I left confused and then remembered 'but that's why I brought it in in the first place' (to have charger checked) Went back, they remembered but couldn't find charger, please come back etc etc....I have now been going backwards and forwards for two weeks and 3 emails. Finally got a message that it had been 'found' so went today to collect. No charger. Apparently it was found and now lost again. To may things even worse Ash offered me another charger. I had foreseen this and fortunately had my laptop in my bag and of course it wasn't a suitable charger. So still no charger, which incidentally is my property.
As I said I am a supporter of local, small business but this is one of the most disorganised and unprofessional that I have ever encountered. To add to that they have blatantly lied on at least 2 occasions. I have lost all trust in them. Much as it pains me to withdraw support, neither my family nor I will use their services again and I certainly will not be advising any one else to do so. (something I have done in the past)
I have given them one star because I had to in order to post review but really I would like to award none.
2019.02.14 09:37
Very helpful, but ultimately couldn't help me with a cable which I hoped existed. It didn't prevent them spending time researching for me, so would recommend them.
2018.09.18 10:56
Heard rude man Russel had been asked to leave. So I gave new guy Ervin and Ash a laptop to fix. they saved all my data and fixed it. Unlike previous review, all my photos were backed up. Used to come to this shop often, till Russel came. He was rude and I gave my custom to someone else. Now he's gone, I will gladly come back to this shop. I did hear that alot of customers left cause of Russel's behaviour and lack of compassion. Will now recomend coming back to old customers who have left. Ash is a good, especially with OAP's. Keep up the good work Ash. sure you will do well now that Russel is out of the picture.

Very but very very bad customer service!! Very disappointed, I went there and i wanted to send a parcel to home office i asked the postman to check if everything was filled correctly the answer of postman was "you should know is your job to fill it up corectly my job is to send it" very rude person. Is even the head office doing something about it? they should learn some manners to these people!! They don't know how to respect a customer! Discusting post office!
2019.09.19 09:33
Recently had to pick up a parcel and the guy couldn't be bothered to check if he had it he kept telling me he didnt, eventually he did check after me having to ask him to multiple times. Finally got my parcel included with a headache of having to argue with someone for no reason.
2019.08.13 08:33
Posted a parcel from here and tracked it 5 days later - still hasn't been sent, really disappointed

Reviews about «HSBC»
Usually great service... have banked.with HSBC for 21 years but today has left a sour taste in my mouth. I arrived at 17.01 and asked if I could use the self service machine quickly to pay in a cheque. Despite there still being a.number of customers in the bank to be seen to I was refused entry... where I do understand there being a procedure to follow, a little grace in this regard would've been preferable as I'd rushed to get to the bank after I finished work and my timetable is complete contrast to the banks opening times.so getting to a bank is not convenient for me
2019.08.28 16:11

2019.10.02 15:01
Horrible customer service, started my application to open an account 4 months ago and after that they are asking for my pay slips which I cannot receive as i am yet to open an account and they said they can not help me with that or anything. Tried opening an account with another bank and took me 2 days to get it done. Worst banking service.

I went first to open a bank account at least 10 time and they found every time a NEW excuse to say no. I tried in another branch and after 1 minutes i had my card.
Now im customer from almost a year and i tried to apply for my credit card in this branch, but again, im italian, so they need a 'proof of address'. My HSBC card is not??! Worse experience ever

Reviews about «Metro Bank»
Ignore all the other reviews saying this bank is bad; from my experience, I’ve had nothing but simple, smooth sailing whenever it comes to depositing, withdrawing, setting up an account or just taking in the dogs for some water :) The main point of this review is to highlight an incident that happened to me recently; after depositing some money into my card, I left the bank, went home and realised I had dropped my card near metro bank. Obviously, some kind soul had seen the dropped card and gone into metro bank to give it to them. I was hugely busy and had no time to call metro bank and cancel the card, but to my surprise, two days later, I received a letter with a new card inside! Brilliant bank
2020.01.24 16:17
Fantastic staff! Super helpful people who are genuinely interested in you. It was super easy to open an account with them and I received my card there and then. They made sure I was set up with online and mobile banking which was helpful. Thanks Metro Bank!

Worse service ever !!!
2019.12.12 14:11
Put my name down for a safety deposit 6 months ago and heard nothing. I then went in a few days ago to ask if one had become available and for some reason I wasn’t put on waiting list.
After putting my name down again I then received an email saying that a box had become available and I needed to go into the branch and sort.
I turned up to the branch and was told by the cashier that all the staff were busy and no one would be able to see me. This was at 7.00pm and the branch was still open for another hour.
There was a member of staff sitting at a desk free and when I asked the cashier if he could help she told me he was the manager and would be unable to assist
Really poor customer service
I am sure if I would have said I was closing my account I would have received some assistance

Awful place. The cheque paying in machine would not accept my cheque and told me to ask an assistant for help. I could not find anybody. Not hide nor hair. I left and returned 30 minutes later and still nobody was available. Oh there were people there, but they all averted their eyes and disappeared out the back. Others were in cubicles helping people. It was only a very small cheque (money wise) so I shredded the damned thing. HSBC are a waste of time. I really don't know why I stay with them. Utterly hopeless.

I went into the Halifax branch on Shenley road yesterday. When I asked to withdraw cash I was told I could not as they had an IT issue. I asked for a note stating this issue for my personal reference. At this point the attendant started getting very rude saying she wouldn't do it and didn't see why she should. I asked to speak to the branch manager, Aruna Shah who was equally rude and unhelpful. When I told her I would complain about her she said she would complain about me and when I told her I would change banks she smiled and told me to do so. I see why her staff have such a lack of customer service skills, profesionalism and manners as she sets the example in such a bad way. This branch is a disgrace to Halifax's reputation. I will take this complaint much further internally as I don't think anybody deserves to be served by a horrible person like Aruna Shah and her staff need to be trained by a better manager.

Your age appears to be taken into account with professionalism.
As a university student, I felt that my age and youthful appearance played an important role in my customer experience. The staff member who served me sat in a slouched position, spoke in an unfriendly and unprofessional manner. I felt very uncomfortable. I have previously been with my parents to this bank on many occasions and they have always acted professional and friendly. If my parents were with me today, I feel as though I would have been treated a lot differently. There needs to be consistency in how staff members treat their customers.

It was great! Everyone is so nice and make sure that the customer is comfortable, for example offering coffee or tea while they wait for their time to be attended. To be honest, I've never seen a bank with such organisation as this one. MetroBank is unique!

Made 3 trips to the bank on separate occasions but still ended up not opening a community business account! So much time wasted trying to meet their requirements. Staff even made me pay an internet office across the street to make unnecessary changes to wording in my document! And all for nothing too! Never going to set foot in the bank again. And will advise friends and colleagues to stay away.

This branch is not like other banks, people are welcoming and personable. Steve Carr the local director is very helpful and has a wealth of experience with help from Daryl Heard business manager they have set high standards for all staff to follow, the right tone has been set at the top and as a result this branch is buzzing with staff eager to help and support customers.
They do provide alot of free stationary etc.. for customers as well as access to a coin machine where coins can be exchanged for cash or deposited directly into your account.
I would recommend this branch without hesitation.

Very small branch but the staff provide good service and very patient. Last time I need to print my bank statements since it is not shown on my online banking account, and I asked many questions about some problems on my account, the staff is quite helpful.

A pretty bad experience, please close the branch as the staff from there makes it useless anyway.

If there is no decent PC repair shop in your area, send you storage device to data recovery lab from the nearest post office. You can pay for recovery services or software registration at any bank.
Stop using the device where you used to keep the deleted data.
Work of the operating system, installation of programs, and even the ordinary act of connecting a disk, USB drive or smartphone to the computer will create new files that might overwrite the deleted data - and thus make the recovery process impossible. The best solution would be to shut down the computer of power off your phone and outline an action plan. If turning off the device is impossible, try to use it as little as possible.
Make up a list of devices where the necessary files have been saved.
Try to remember the chain of events from creating the files to deleting them. You may have received them by email, downloaded from the Internet, or you may have created them on another PC and then brought them home on a USB drive. If the files in question are personal photos or videos, they can still be available on the memory card of your camera or smartphone. If you received the information from someone else - ask them for help. The sooner you do it the more chances you have to recover what is lost.
Use the list of devices to check them for the missing files, their backup copies or, at least, the chance to recover the deleted data from such devices.
Windows backup and restore
You can create backups in Windows both with the system tools and third-party apps.
-
📝 File History
File History is meant to keep versions of all files in a certain folder or on a specific disk. By default, it backs up such folders as Documents, Pictures etc, but you can also add new directories as well.

🔄 System restore points
Restore points are the way to save copies of user folders, system files, registry and settings for a specific date. Such copies are either created manually or automatically when updates are installed or critical Windows settings are modified.
-
📀 Recovery image
A system recovery image allows you to create an image of the system drive (you can also include other drives if necessary). Speaking of such image, we mean a complete copy of the entire drive.
-
📁 Registry backup and restore
In addition to restoring user files, Windows gives you an opportunity to cancel any changes you may have made to the system registry.
-
📀 SFC and DISM
System files and libraries can be recovered with a hidden recovery disk by using the SFC and DISM commands.
-
🛠️ Recovering file system
Often, data can be lost because of a data carrier failure. If that is the case, you don’t have to rush to a PC repair shop; try to restore operability of the storage device on your own. If you see the “Please insert a disk” error, a device is recognized as having a RAW file system, or the computer shows a wrong disk size, use the Diskpart command:

What steps should I take to back up my data before bringing my computer to a data recovery or PC repair service in Borehamwood?
- Identify the data you want to back up: Determine which files, folders, and data are important to you and need to be backed up. This could include documents, photos, videos, music, emails, and any other personal or work-related files.
- External storage device: Get an external hard drive, USB flash drive, or any other reliable storage device with sufficient capacity to store your data. Ensure that the device is in good working condition and has enough space to accommodate all the data you want to back up.
- Transfer data: Connect the external storage device to your computer and copy the important files and folders to it. You can do this by manually dragging and dropping the files, or by using backup software or tools that automate the process.
- Verify the backup: Double-check that all the data has been successfully transferred and stored on the external storage device. Open some files or folders to ensure they are accessible and not corrupted.
- Create a backup of system settings: If you want to preserve your computer's settings, preferences, and installed programs, consider creating a system image or a full backup using built-in Windows tools or third-party backup software. This will allow you to restore your computer to its previous state after the repair or recovery process.
- Encrypt sensitive data: If you have any sensitive or confidential information, consider encrypting it before backing it up. This adds an extra layer of security to your data, ensuring that it remains protected even if the external storage device gets lost or stolen.
- Store the backup securely: Keep the external storage device in a safe and secure location, preferably away from your computer. This will help protect your data from physical damage, theft, or accidental loss.
- Label and organize: Properly label the external storage device with the date and a brief description of its contents. This will make it easier for you to locate specific files or folders if needed.
By following these steps, you can ensure that your important data is safely backed up before bringing your computer to a data recovery or PC repair service in Borehamwood.
How can I ensure that my personal information is securely removed from my computer before taking it to a data recovery or PC repair service in Borehamwood?
There are several steps you can take to ensure that your personal information is securely removed from your computer before taking it to a data recovery or PC repair service in Borehamwood:
- Backup your important data: Before doing anything else, make sure to backup all your important files and data to an external hard drive, cloud storage, or another computer. This will ensure that you have a copy of your data in case anything goes wrong during the repair process.
- Delete personal files: Go through your computer and manually delete any personal files, documents, photos, videos, or any other sensitive information that you don't want anyone else to access. Remember to check folders like "Downloads," "Documents," "Desktop," and any other locations where you might have saved personal files.
- Uninstall unnecessary software: Remove any unnecessary software or applications from your computer. This can help reduce the amount of personal information stored on your device.
- Clear browsing data: Clear your browsing history, cookies, and cache from your web browser. This will remove any stored passwords, website data, or other personal information that may be stored by your browser.
- Use a data erasure tool: Consider using a data erasure tool or software to securely wipe your hard drive. These tools overwrite your data multiple times, making it extremely difficult to recover. Examples of such tools include CCleaner, Eraser, or DBAN (Darik's Boot and Nuke).
- Factory reset: If you're comfortable doing so, you can perform a factory reset on your computer. This will restore it to its original state, removing all personal data and settings. However, make sure to backup your data before performing this step, as it will erase everything on your computer.
- Seek professional help: If you're unsure about performing the above steps yourself, you can seek professional help from a data recovery or PC repair service in Borehamwood. Make sure to inquire about their data privacy policies and ask if they provide any guarantees or certifications regarding data security and privacy.
By following these steps, you can significantly reduce the risk of your personal information being accessed or compromised while your computer is being repaired or serviced.
