data recovery from an HD

[Heelfan71]

Anyone had to pay to have some data recovered from an HD ??? I have one the crashed. I thought I backed it up too. But it is very important stuff. Going to have to pay some $$$, I know. Just curious if anyone has had this done.

So you can get the data froma HD that crashed? I've been holding on to my old HD for about 2 years now cause it has some important stuff on there that I need. When my HD crased, it made a horrible clicking sound like it refused to read. My ******* kinda peeled off the protective tape on the back and looked inside. Is it completely dead or do I still have hope?

It can be extracted. I am trying to find a local place now. A few online places I checked are charging $500

How bad is it? Errors? Does the computer even read the drive? Notebook HDD? Does the HDD make grinding noises?

Depending how bad it is you might have a solution or two.

But if is bad expect to pay some really big bucks to get it done professionally.

no errors. The computer doesn't read the drive. It is an external usb hd. I put it in my desktop as a slave and it worked last night but this morning it wasn't again..........it's making a ticking noise.

you might want to try going to the command prompt and typing chkdsk /f

I did that and it checked my C: drive (the internal).

You might get lucky with this like I did. Mine didn't read for a couple hours and all sudden appeared.

Ticking noise... seems like the drive isn't spinning.

$500 is a lot. I did it for less.

There are some nice places online that do it for a lot less as well if it is that important to you. Good luck.

yeah, I am going to keep trying for a few days. maybe it will work and I can back it up real quick.

I had my HD crash on me a few years ago, and GetDataBack for NTFS helped me recovery most of my data. I'm sure they have a trial version that allows you to scan corrupted HD's (but it won't let you recovery any of your data unless you buy the program). Either way, it's worth a shot.

thanks. I tried it and it didn't find my drive. Tried several programs and all didn't recognize it.
