Data recovery guru's
Anyone here on the svx.net board either work in a data recovery company or knows anyone that knows anyone who can.
I have a laptop harddrive and need the data pulled out of it. It's actually a friend of mine's. He has over a year's worth of heart disease data that he's been researching. The lab's budget is $1000. Some data places quoted $2200 to fix. Quick $1000 if anyone knows how to do it. Help save the data, it could save your life one day. |

I for sure could do it, but surely there are folks around nearer you that could also.
There are companies that have this for speciality, but they are VERY expensive, like a company in Norway that charges around $10-20k for having data retrieved from a totally crashed harddrive. If you want a tip for a good tool, please check Steven Gibsons (www.grc.com) SpinRite. But remember that a bad recovery attempt CAN make more damage to the data then the actual crash ... /Sonny

-Ooooops....that's REALLY bad.
I have once successfully replaced a dead controller card on a harddrive, but then you have to have a identical drive to swap with. If the fault is mechanical, it is more difficult, but COULD be done. I don't know if it is possible to swap the disc's to another, identical, drive because of the head adjustments and so on. But if the drive only works for that time it takes to "clone" it, it would be fine. /Sonny

Definately don't try to fix it yourself! You'll just make it worse.
Any data can be retrieved...even if it comes to a microscopic level. Data can be read off the drive even if it has been written over. It's not going to be cheap.
