I have a windows laptop that was dropped, messing up the hard drive. The drive was not readable when rebooting. Immediately removed the hard drive and placed it in an enclosure and placed a fresh hard drive in the laptop with a fresh install. New hard drive worked fine.
The drive contents on the dropped drive could NOT be read on a pc. It mounted fine and read on a Mac. Unfortunately he vast majority of the data could not be copied off the drive.
The drive was sent to (2) different professional recovery companies in California. The first company wasn't able to get much off of it. The 2nd did a better job. But quite a few of the videos and photo content recovered is "scrambled" (half of the photo unaligned with a color shift and the videos with heavily pixel-ted during part of clip).
Any suggestions on companies that can recover ANYTHING from a drive like this? Or how to handle the corrupted files?
TIA
