Computer Help - Data Recovery
Hey, need some help if anyone can..
I need to do some data recovery on a 200 gig hdd that has had a fall from the hieght of the pc case.. I rang all the local stores down there all got the same answer we don't do it.. So i did some searching on the net and found a place in Melbourne, that for between 1000-2500 bucks they'll get the data.. anyone else know any other places? I have just got back from holidays from Indonesia and had uploaded all my photos to it, and all my other photos and music is all on it... Thanks muchly Pete |

Won't recognise it, and when it's plugged in either to the external hdd shell or into the pc makes a buzzing/ticking sound, which i think the heads have jumped. |

I went through this exercise a while back - Unfortunately it's going to cost a fair amount. One place in Bentley quoted $800 to recover a 2gb compact flash card. They will usually look at it for about $60 and see what can be done first, before proceeding with the recovery process.
Do a search in the yellow pages, there are a few companies in Perth who do it.

an extra external 1tb hdd to do BACKUPS is 300 bucks
keep it off site for those fires. backup monthly have a second machine with another 1tb so you don't lose it all in a fire and a car crash and your already talking less $200 than one recovery which may or may not be possible. obviously not going to help you now, but next time. There are programs you can get to boot a custom os and run a deep scan that bypasses a lot of system, but if you've crashed the head the chances are not even that will work. |
