Data Recovery Index

I am looking for a good data recovery service (preferably in Manhattan) that is neither wildly expensive (preferably below $400), that will not destroy my hard drive. I’ve heard that bad data recovery services can actually make it impossible for you to ever get your data back. I don’t want to lose my data to inexperienced people. Thanks for any advice.

Also, if there is a company that is really good and affordable that I can mail my Hard Drive to, then that might work too.

Thanks!

You might want to consider this alternative to having someone else do the work:
If you’ve got a lot of valuable files that must be recovered, have a look @ ‘SpinRite’ from GRC.
Does total disk maintenance; checks cable interfaces; many deep disk checks, recovers data & fixes HDD errors; etc.
THE industry standard.
About $90 US; money back if not satisfied.
Money back if not satisfied.
Google for reviews.
Well worth the money.

Works on Mac drives: use Spinrite first, then migrate drive & use the Mac recovery utility on the repaired data.
Does not work with newer “solid state” drives.

Can anyone recommend a data recovery service in New York City?

well, I have a large hard drive from which I need to make a recovery, it has been formatted..a while ago and I want to recover it’s files….I already tried “Get Data Back” and it didnt work, is there anything better than that?
I am asking specifically about the performance of “get data back” compared to other programs, I do not need clarification on the factors that favor recovering the files

It isn’t realistically possible to recover you files.

What is the best app for file recovery from a formatted hard drive?

My laptop’s hard drive is far too small anymore, and I’d like to install a larger one. I don’t mind formatting the old one or doing a clean installation for everything all over again. I JUST NEED MORE SPACE!!! I have a recovery disk for my laptop that has Windows XP Home and all my other factory settings on it. Will this work okay for a new installation?

Best reply by Edward1983:

no it will not install windows

a recovery disk instructs windows to rewrite itself and install drivers thats all it does not install windows itself

I installed a new hard drive with the assumption that the system recovery disk would install the operating system (windows xp). It doesn’t work and HP doesn’t have them anymore (too out of date) what next? Anyone?

Hp has a procedure outlined for how to use the recovery disks in this article:

You should look for the section titled “Recovering from the recovery disks”, about halfway down the page, though you may want to browse all the topics.

I need to know if this is an easy problem to fix or if there is a cheap way under $500(AU) to get the data back. It is an 80GB hard drive with less than 25GB of data. Would software recovery work? Or is it a mechanical problem?
It is a SATA hard drive out of a laptop. I have attempted to plug it in using an external hard drive casing but nothing was detected… please please help!!
