Any Professional data recovery vendor recommendations please.

Hi Guys, I have got my main hard drive crash on me yesterday. I had taken it into pcworld/techguys et al.... but they don;t seem to be able to recover it and said this drive will need professional data recovery company to help recover the data - where apparently those companies will have a specialist machines to actually open the hard drive shell, and recover data track by track etc. And it might also cost me around £1000 based on the size of data disk/recovery. I am OK with the cost, but need the data recovered. I am currently googling around, and found many so-called professional ones, but the tech guys recommended me to just stick with one company - even to try it out first, since otherwise i might spoli the disk further, if manyu of them attempt to recover from it. So i am being cautious in selecting a vendor to do this recover for me.... do you guys have any recommendations on any particular data recovery vendor, based on someone you have used before. BTW, i am from London, UK. Thanks.

I have no suggestions, except to point out that a USB hard drive and backup software together, costs less than $1000. Just don't buy Ghost unless you have a TON of memory, I stopped using it b/c it brought my computer to it's knees.

When I boot to Windows, I only have 3 GB of RAM, as I am running 32 bit still. I still have quad cores, tho. And yes, it uses close to 2 GB of memory. My machine is generally super slow until I remember to kill the process ( there are two, they start each other, so that's a little battle in the mornings ). I haven't got around to uninstalling it, which means I am super careful about checking my code in every day ( off site source control ) because in the meantime, my backup hard drive is not really doing very much..... I have True Image around here somewhere, I just need the time to sit down and set it up.

Just put a new drive in your machine and restore from your last full backup. :doh:

If your HDD still physically spins up, you may be able to recover it using some professional file recovery software... I bought some last year to recover a client's hard drive, and it worked a treat. The one I bought was called... *looking* Active File Recovery Enterprise version. I think from memory it was $100 US or similar... The one downside of that software is that it recovers everything it recognises as a file (by physical disk inspection), then saves them by type, in a numbered list. You would get your files back, but they will be called file0000.jpg, file0001.jpg etc...

If you can pay the money I recommend that. I do not have a recommendation on a vendor. I do recommend that you do not try to use the drive as if it was a head crash the longer you use it the more damage you will do.

I would hope the techguys that looked at the drive actually tested it to make sure it was an hard failure (not recoverable using software methods) before recommending this type of data recovery.
