Not very versed in this subject. The only thing I’ve been told is that it can cost anywhere from $50 to nearly $2000 dollars to get data recovered from a hard drive.
I need to be enlightened…
What about if the hard drive has physical damage?

What’s a good place to go for hard drive data recovery?
I’m curious as to why most of the hard drives my employer sends out to Ontrack comes back with unrecoverable data. With a high evaluation cost it seems easier just to charge a quick $100 and say it can’t be recovered than actually attempting to recover data.

For Data Recovery we had the same problem, Ontrack charges a fortune when a company like eProvided can do it for 1/4 the cost if a success.

How many of you have used Ontrack Data Recovery to successfully retrieve data from a bad hard drive?
My Macbook laptop just recently starting having problems and is no longer recognizing the hard drive for whatever reason. Apple can fix it for me by putting in a new HD but I would very much like to save the files that I know are still stored on the old HD. Does anyone have any recommendations on a good mail away or local (to Northen Virginia) data recovery service? How much is this probably going to cost me?

Before you go there, see if a trick in a PC will work on this MAC. Open up BIOS,( F1, or DELETE as SOON as you push the power button),hold it, and see if BIOS Setup Utility comes up. Standard CMOS Setup, press Enter, see if your harddrive is listed,…NO? Scroll down with Up/Down arrow keys to Primary HDD, press Enter. Use the Minus,(-), key until AUTO comes up, now hit ESC to return to the main screen, where you started from, press F10, and enter y, press the Enter key. See if operating system boots up. Just want to see if your HD can be saved so you can download info from it, before you get new one. Recuva, try this freeware,(www.recuva.com)
