[Hidden-tech] Local Data Recovery Services?

[avbrewer at comcast.net]

Any updates on availability of local data recovery services?  The message copied below was from 2005.

I ask because my MacBook 2.5 SATA 80g drive died last night.  Yes, I know better than to not do regular backups, I just didn't do them!  Some lesson.

On the plus side, drive died last night, so I drive to Holyoke Apple Store, they explained (and showed me) how to replace it with one from Best Buy so I'd have longer than 90 day warranty (original out of warranty, of course:-), did that and installing OS this morning...

I'd love to have anything back (other than my year old last backup, sigh).  Thoughts?

Take care,
Alisa

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 :)
