NEED HELP * Hard Drive Crash *
 

Had a drive crash this morning.. was wondering if anyone has ever had this happen and used a data recovery place it just sounds like it keeps retrying to read / clicking

has anyone ever used a recovery place if so which one.. any suggestions?

They'll rip you off something olympic. Get some free software and do it yourself.

Try With GetDataBack first.

I used one once, it was well over a thousand dollars but I couldnt afford to go without the data. I dont remember the name of it, but they did get everything back. After getting motherfucked for the fee, I decided to prevent this type of thing in the future. I now buy only Western Digital hard drives and I replace them every two years whether they need it or not. I have never had a problem like that since then.

A few weeks ago, while in Miami, my Mom's system crashed and I could not help her over the phone. I called the Geeks from "Best Buy" and contracted a 911 for $219. By the time they were done the bill was close to 1k. If she knew what I paid she would slap me upside the head.:pimp
