Ric Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 Hi Guys Basically ive had a disaster, i have 3 hard drives in my pc, one is running as a backup drive and has everything on it 1tb drive with 150+ hd movies for my HTPC tonnes of full series of lost, 24, heroes ETC and its died, tipical, 750gb of my lovely data gone It was working yesturday then suddenly it wasnt, the bios is seeing it still, but only with a capcity of 33mb, although windows sees it as 8gb (but in raw format so you cant access it or see any files) Im getting another HD today, but wondered if anybody knew any companys which are resonably priced for recovery? cheapest ive found so far is around 245quid. Ive tried various sata ports, configs, bios updates, spinrite etc to no avaiil can anybody suggest anything? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guigsy Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 do apps like getdataback not work? If windows can see the drive i would guess thats your best bet. Ive got a couple of broked drives here but they dont show in the bios so getdataback doesnt work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Konrad Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 Handyrecovery used to work a treat for me when I was getting data back from deleted partitions and such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smallshinyant Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 i'm gonna go with give spinrite a go. should recover enough data for windows to be able to pull something off it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncz Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 ive tried spinrite, getdataback etc they just fail If GetDataBack doesn't work, I can nearly guarantee no other consumer-available data recovery software will either. You're gonna have to get a quote off the professional recovery service people. Unfortunately I've seen quotes of £400 per hard drive for 160gb drives :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
