Data Recovery Index

so i ran out of space on the tiny 80 gig hard drive that was in my laptop so i decided it was time to upgrade to something bigger. So i got a new seagate 500 gig hard drive and put it in, then installed windows again but i noticed after installing a couple drivers that there is no recovery drive. why isn’t there one? I am pretty sure i need one but dont know how to get one there! any help would be nice!

Best reply by KateJB:

There is no recovery partition on your new drive because you didn’t make one.

If you have a Windows disc, then you don’t really *need* one. Save your drivers to another disc and you should be okay if you need to reinstall in the future.

Good luck.

I have a portable 500gig WD drive which just crashed on me this morning! Talk about an unhappy thanks giving! What would be the starting prices for data recovery? What does it depend on?

Best reply by Aaron:

For a drive that size. About 1000 dollars plus other fees.
