Well I have a 250GB hard drive with an ext2 partition. It has several year worth of downloads that I didn't want to loose. So my only choice is to pay $500 to $2500 for them to recover my information. F*cking rediculous. Does anyone know of anywhere esle of have a corporate account they can hook me up with?

 

That's the cost of data recovery. We have a per MB service, but if most of that drive of yours needs recovery, then it won't be worth it. A decent one that my friend uses is virtual lab from binarybiz. It's a downloaded program, just put your drive into a working computer, and plug in yoru CC number. No idea offhand if it works on a linux part tho, you'd need to check.

 

Software will not fix the problem, I have awesome recovery software. The drive's platters need to be removed from the casing.

 

i know how you feel. i lost tons of data in the past. now i back everything up on dvd.

 

Yup expensive... learnt the lesson years back... now just DL and burn onto DVDRs...

 

Well since I have 1.2 terrabytes of data DVD's are not a viable solution for me.

 

get a tape drive.... or stop downloading so much ****.

 

1.2 terrabytes of ****? DAMN! You are the new **** king! Someone get him a crown!

I usually back up all my stuff to CD and to the internet (I havea group on msn.com where I store stuff that's important like my resume and dirty emails).

 

I have no, I repeat NO **** on my computer. It is mostly software, and entire TV Series. Tape drives are too slow and too expensive.

 

if you don't have any **** then who cares if you lose all the data. now if that was all ****, it would be worth the $2,000.

 

doesn't super geeks do recovery? if not then idk. GL

 

There is no computer owned by a red blooded american male that does not have **** in it!

 

Oh hell yeah data recovery is expensive! I have never had to send a drive to get that data recovered, but from what I have seen its.. $$$$.

 

I saw we try to do it ourselves. Who wants to turn their house into a big cleanroom?
