Data Recovery

Can anyone recommend a company that can recover data from a wazzed hard disk? The disk still works physically but some data was inadvertantly trashed.

You can download software to do this yourself. http://www.pcworld.com/downloads/file/fid,22764-order,1-page,1-c,alldownloads/description.html I believe that PC World also off a data recovery service. But I can't find a link for this on their web site.

I had a HDD crash last year. I used freebie recovery software and I got back 80% of what I lost. Problem is, I can't remember the software I used! It came from a google seach though.

Try http://www.download.com Plenty of freeware/shareware on there. Just search for recovery or something similar.

Hi Steve, I've just sent off a hard disk to a company called Data Clinic and they offer a no fix, no fee service. They can be contacted on 0161 761 9144. http://www.dataclinic.co.uk The price depends on the make/type/size of the disk, but my quote was for £490+VAT for a 5-10 day service, including courier collection service and all recovered data being burnt to DVD. They will burn to a new HDD at cost. Good luck! Jon.
