Anyone know anybody in data recovery? I'm getting crazy quotes for a HD. Issue is, it probably has bad heads or something is causing them not to engage.

Thanks
 
Do you have a microcenter nearby? They use an outside company and can diagnose the drive while you wait (over the net) then give you a quote.
 
Something like this?

Unfortunately Geordi won't be born for another 300 years or so...

Good luck, though! Losing data SUCKS. :no:
 
I've done it with software before but you can't do that if it does not spin up ;)
 
If you are mechanically inclined you can change out the read/write head mechanism and or platters pretty easily if you have a drive thats similar to use as a donor. Ive saved a couple of drives this way.. I wouldnt recommend using the drives again afterwards, but just to get the info you need off of them it may save you $200 - $1600.....
 
Yeah but I don't have a clean room and one dust particle on a disk is like a nail in a tire.
 
At one time Staples used to do data recovery. I never had to try them for that, but like them for other things.
