Jack L asked: A friend lost many prized pictures when his hard drive failed. The drive quit suddenly rather than making any noise hinting at a problem. I believe motor or electronics have failed rather than a head crash.
MANY choices are found searching for “data recovery service”!
Can someone recommend a particular company to deal with?

my wife’s laptop crashed with what i believe is a serious virus but she has pictures of her grandmother on there that are no where else, hence she wants to save them via data recovery.
i have gotten some pretty pricey quotes and i was wondering if it was something i can do myself via software or hardware or both

dunric asked: Somewhat hypothetical situation:
Computer user wrote a games application in the mid-1990s stored on floppy disk (non-MFM format; actually, GCR, or Group Code Recording). User has tried virtually everything to recover the source code to this game, and even sent said floppy disk to data recovery lab for analysis.
Other than remarking to client that data recovery would cost “several thousand dollars” and “wasn’t, generally, worth the expense,” said lab sent disk back to consumer.
Short of using a time machine to go back in time and recover the lost source code, what is consumer to do in order to restore the lost data (besides spending countless hours rewriting it, which isn’t a fun/desired option)? I’m assuming even places like NASA/NSA would give consumer blank and weird stares given the oldness of the storage medium, and perhaps wouldn’t be helpful in recovering the data at all.
Thanks,

Ok, this is embarrassing…TRS-80 level embarrassing. The game was written for the Commodore 128 (an old computer like the Commodore 64).

We recorded our wedding with a video recorder that took the little small dvd disks. but when we went to view it on the recorder, the screen said disk error. there was a prompt to repair the damage and we said yes but it said it couldnt repair the damage. we dont even have a clue how the thing could have been damaged to begin with. Does anyone know of an inexpensive data recovery service. we are hearing quotes of upwards of $400+.

I bought a 100Mb zip drive about 2 years ago. Recently when I tried to open documents on my zip but to no avail. Iomega company told me there was a problem with the disk. They told me I need to find a data recovery speacilist b/c they would charge me $350.
I really need to retrieve the documents or copy them on to another disk. Is there an inexpensive way to do this myself instead of paying a company more money than the zip actually cost?
