has anyone here ever needed to restore a drive that has died or is made inaccessible? under which circumstances is this no longer an option? is it better to use software or send the drive to a restoration service? I have a 200 GB drive that I never installed properly (or the jumper settings were incorrect) and it always made my pentium 4 1.6 GHz, 1024MB Ram computer run like half-life 7 on a 386. one day recently, the surge protector my computer is plugged into was switched off. when I turned the shit back on, it was slower than ever. it began to run like a normal computer again once I unplugged that second drive. it was recognized by BIOS and by disk management, but apparently it was inaccessible, and the 'parameter was incorrect'. Data Lifeguard said there was data still on that drive that could be saved, and that the drive itself, after being formatted, would be usable again. I later removed (physically) the drive from the computer.. when I put it bakc, ONLY BIOS recognized it. disk management no longer did, and the software I was running to detect whatever was left detectable on that drive was no longer able to recognize it.. so my question is.. what the fuck?? |

Fuck, I remember that happened to one of my drives... I could see it in bios, but I couldn't do anything with it once I got into Windows. It's a paperweight now. I think it's prettty expensive to get the juice out of those dead harddrives, isn't it? There's a website I saw once, endorsed by such celebrities as Sean Connery, Weird Al and the Simpsons (they claim a whole season's worth of scripts was salvaged from a melted hard drive), that say they can get results out of your drive even if it's dropped out of a plane from 5000 feet into a pit of killer robots. Forget what it's called... I think it's a ridiculous price anyway. |

, for Chrissakes! Paul Reiser! I guess you have to call them to get an estimate... somewhere else on the site, a customer says something about the average price being 900 dollars, or around there... though you have to keep in mind, a lot of these computers/drives have been completely destroyed... blown up by bombs, resting on the bottom of the Amazon for months, run over by tractors... unlike yours. I'm sure there's other data restoration sites around, but does Paul Reiser endorse them? |

how is that at all possible? and formatted disks apparently are doable as well.. I guess nothing is ever really deleted? |

It twists my brain matter. After I found that website a couple years ago, I did some research to find out HOW they manage to do those surprising things. I quit after 2 minutes of ''research'', so I'm still amazed by it. They don't like to release trade secrets, I guess. |
