More Lorton services →Hard drive recovery without leaving Lorton
Out on Mason Neck or tucked into Laurel Hill, the nearest repair counter can be a long drive with a fragile computer on the seat. We come to you, check the machine where it is, and tell you honestly what can be saved.
Lorton’s summer storms and power flickers are hard on desktops. If a computer hasn’t been right since an outage, call us before the drive fails completely.
“I have used Mount Vernon Computer several times over the past few years for a variety of computer problems. Each time Daryl provided quality service and really personalized attention to my computer issues. He has all sorts of options for people who need services, from remote services to hands on computer services. I highly recommend Mount Vernon Computers for any and all of your computer needs.”
Mount Vernon Computers recovers documents, photos, and email from hard drives that click, SSDs that vanish, laptops that won’t start, and memory cards that suddenly look empty. We start with the safest approach and keep you informed at every step.
After recovery we’ll move your files to a repaired or new computer and recommend surge protection and an automatic backup so the next storm doesn’t cost you anything.

What customers say
Great experience working with Mount Vernon Computers. They were helpful and understanding regarding my data recovery issue and had more reasonable prices than other shops in the area.Read full review
My teenager did not properly back up her laptop. So, when it totally crashed she lost access to her English final and all her junior year school files. In a panic we called Daryl on a Sat morning. He was able to retrieve all her files and make them available for use on either a PC or Mac. We have both and were not sure which computer would be used to finish up the school year. We had the all her files by 6pm that same Sat. You will not go wrong with Daryl. His prices are reasonable and we found him knowledgeable and honest. We will be using Daryl again for any future problems.Read full review

Questions from Lorton neighbors
My desktop hasn’t worked right since a power outage. Is my data at risk?
Possibly. Power surges can damage drives and power supplies. Unplug it, avoid repeated restarts, and call us. We’ll check it on-site and recover your files before trying any repairs.
Can you recover files after I emptied the Recycle Bin or Trash?
Often, yes, especially if the computer hasn’t been used much since. Deleted files usually stay on the drive until something new is written over them, which is why stopping quickly matters.
Can you move my recovered files to a new computer?
Yes. Once your files are safe, we can set up a new or repaired machine and put everything back where you expect it, then set up backups so it doesn’t happen again.
