Last year we tried to recover data from a scotched hard drive - I looked hard, but couldn't find anyone in the area who provides this service anymore because the proper facilities (i.e. "clean rooms") are expensive to maintain. Most data recovery companies I researched charge $150 or more just to try to recover your data, and from $600 up to actually recover the data. We tried two different companies: Data Recovery Group: http://www.datarecoverygroup.com/ Total Recall: http://www.recallusa.com/ Both have an excellent track record, and a long, distinguished client list. Neither were able to recover the data from the drive (it had been damaged pretty badly). Our final expenses were about $300 in fees + another $50 or so in shipping expenses. Good luck!

I wonder if anyone can recommend a company that can do some data recovery for me as well as fix my laptop. I have an older laptop and it recently stopped working, won't even turn on anymore. I see a lot of ads in the yellow pages but its hard to know who to trust. Thanks in advance Lisa :) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
