My aging laptop recently took a short fall causing my hard drive to become unreadable. After a quick diagnosis, it appears that the heads are bad which puts me in need of a recovery service so I can retrieve some data from it. Looking on Google, there seems to be a plethora of companies offering this service which makes this a somewhat difficult decision about who to choose. Has anyone here ever had to send a drive into someone to have the data recovered? What are the costs involved in this? From the info I've com across it appears that this can be quite costly. Would it be possible for me to just swap the heads out?
Thanks.
Thanks.
