Data Recovery

Does anyone know of any good Data Recovery places in Toronto? My 1TB drive pretty much failed on me, and there are some valuable things on it that I need backed up onto another drive (would do it myself but the drive is inaccessible and doesn't allow other drives to function when it's connected to my motherboard.)

I don't want to spend a fortune

If it's totally toast you're going to spend a small fortune getting stuff back professionally.

That's the fuckin' way she goes.

Does the drive at least spin even though you can't read it?

I second that. Data recovery is very expensive.

depending on what needs to be done to recovery your data, you'd be looking at at least $500 to recover... and it can go in to the thousands of dollars. how important is your porn to you?

Sorry to hear Cribby

Hope you get this worked out somehow...

Yep. It shows up in the bios, but I can't access it's data.

I just want my digital photos.. those are most valuable to me.

Thx, dl that bootdisk now. Sounds like Lisa had the exact same problem as me. Before I resort to Data Recovery, I'll give this a shot.

Seriously Del...like you haven't done enough for me already! You helped save my computer!

Cale downlaod that CD and ran it this weekend...he was able to recover my data!!

Unfortunatly it's too late for my projects. I still had to re-do the work I had done. But at least now I have copies of the projects I had done previously (always good to have copies). Not to mention all my pictures...thank god! That was gonna be a chore and a half trying to get back some of those (with a few I would have lost forever).

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!

Just out of curiousity, which utility did you/Cale use from the disk?

I got some haul-ass data recovery software. I'll PM you... call me. As long as it's still spinning, then I think I can give it a go to read the data.

Posted by I_Am_Vince on May-01-2009 16:18:

Also if it's still spinning you can try to put it in an external enclosure and plug it in to a different computer. Maybe the boot files are corrupt. You can also put it in the freezer before you try it. Good luck!

The 7200.11's.

Me and my friend both have 1.5TB, 7200.11, and they work great.

Seagate needs to die
I just recently had big problems with my 750TB drive. Once I managed to get it working again (thank god) I moved all my files off it and got rid of it.

Thx for link. Only problem is, it has to run from windows, and my drive won't allow other drives with windows to work.. so I can only run dos programs from boot. Going to try that multiboot disk on my next day off.. or rainy day. Weather is too nice for me to try and fix things indoors

when you hook up the other drives make sure you change the pins on the back of the drives (master/slave)

My laptop has just died but I took it in to staples and he says the data recovery will be between 80 and 160 bucks!
