My 12' apple power book’s hard drive has crashed and 2 other data recovery companies have been unable to recovery my data which includes business apps and about 3000 digital pics of my 13 month old son... ech...that will teach me to verify backup data..

Anyone have an opinion if I should keep searching for that holy grail of data recovery..?
Could you plz help me?
Thanks

If actual data recovery companies have been unable to restore data, there probably isn't much hope.

Does this mean you had backup data fail too? What happened?

Backup, backup, backup. Then backup again. Data loss is not an 'if', it's a 'when'.
I am sorry to hear about this. The only consolation is that this will probably only happen to you once. I've been through it myself and I've been anal about backing up ever since.

A spindle of 100 Memorex DVDs, here in Canada, is $40-60. Go and get one.

Recently - (during the past 2 months) I am aware of two cases that were each at two different well-known and reputable data recovery companies and we were able to get the data back. But both jobs took several weeks to complete and the charges were $18,000 and $19,500 (very high for single drive recoveries.). Finally, we could locate a company called SAlvageData Recovery Lab Inc. who are reasonable and very prompt. I don’t know your experience with the company you’ve been to but I will recommend this company strongly after all the data drive has got the invaluable pics of you son. If you wish you can call them at 1 203-973-0242. I hope you get your crucial data back.

ok, either I'm retarded or this is, by an astronomic margin, the dumbest spam scheme I have ever had the misfortune to stumble across. don't you have anything better to do?





all your posts, and your alter ego's posts. six posts from either member, both joined in january '07, all about dead hard drives, most mention what I presume is your sorry excuse for a company ... you're quite the mono-tasker now, aren't you?

salvage recovery labs must be really desperate for new clients ...


edit: oh, and $18k for a hard drive recovery? lol! nice try.

[Jim_MDP]

Thanks FG... I'm in a pissy mood tonight and really didn't need to feel bad for some damn sock-puppet.

Have you tried OnTrack? I recall a few years ago I had sent a HD off t them. Cost a bundle but they got the info back.

It wasn't my HD but rather for a professor I was working with.

Have you read effgee's post? This guy is a spammer.

DriveSavers has probably the longest and best reputation when it comes to Mac data repair. I don't know if you've tried them or not, but if they can't do it then I'm afraid there's probably no hope. The NSA could do it, but convincing them to help you out is probably not going to be possible unless you've got some state secrets on the drive or something.

Head crashes are nasty things. Modern drive makers take some rather impressive pains to avoid them, because this is the kind of thing that results from them. What happened, anyway? Did the drive fall off a table while it was running or something?

[olePigeon]

I've had an older HDD's head just die for no reason. You have two options:

1. If you're risky, buy an identical HDD and swap the platters.
2. Pay a data recovery company a LOT of money and they'll extract the platters for you and get the data off.

At my work we actually have an NSA field data recovery kit. It doesn't handle broken heads, only damage or corrupted tables.

Does no one read threads anymore?

No, he pimped it and it spun so hard it created a vortex and everybody's brains fell in.

Ok, now imagine Dr. Cox from Scrubs is saying this:

You have really really really got to post "OOPS" before you lock it.

Come on this is some of my funniest stuff. Someone's got to atleast sniker.

I know I'll never make it as a comedian, heck, you got to give a guy credit for trying.
