Data Recovery in CA.

[TEHxFALLEN V1.2]

Anyone know a reputable place where I can take my hard drive in for data recovery? Someone smashed/violently shook my pc and now all my data is lost.

Please help ):

I had attempted that earlier with no luck ):

I installed a new hard drive into my pc and slaved my old hard drive. It recognizes it in My Computer, but when I click on it, it says it's unreadable. Also, right clicking on it to view properties, it says that the disk has 0 GB of both used and free space.

I really need my data, and I don't trust the companies that state, "Send us your hard drive, and if we cannot recover your data, we won't charge you." They could easily recover my data and then some.

I have so much data in there that I need ):

Sorry to hear that TxF
It's happened to me twice already... That's why I've decided on a RAID 1 from now on... and maybe a drobo (http://drobo.com) later on

Yeah, I need to back up my data more frequently now.. and that Drobo external drive looks like just the thing to have.

I'm sure there are places that could recover my data, right? I know it won't be cheap, but that's why I save up for rainy days like this ):

Hard drive failures suck :frown:

Give this program a shot, it helped me save a lot of stuff from my old laptop hard drive when it stopped working:

And the free download will salvage my lost data from a drive that's now read as unmountable/unreadable? How does that work?
