Hard Drive recovery

[VanillaPep]

Hi guys,

I just got my Maxtor 200gb PATA/133 die last week. It makes a mecanical iiiiickk sound and cannot be detected. Do you guys have any suggestion for hard drive recovery service? I'm located in Montreal.

Thank you!

you could probably use Seagate's data recovery service..

if its a mechanical failure it wont come cheap.. ure looking at around $1000 to recover your data from a mechanical failure.

does it sound like a clinking sound? like the needle skipping on the harddrive?

if it is... check my posts for a fix on it...

I tried the freezing thing, it worked for 30 secs, enough to get 400mb off, tried freezing again, and it just didn't work

Danm, i need to get off 200GB..

Can any of you give precise details on how to freeze the HD?

Zip lock bag, stick it in, pull it out after 20 mins...

If you value the stuff, i'd take it to a professional
