Hey All!

A year or so ago, there was a site, where you could get a money price, if you could recover a zero formatted harddrive. Does anyone remember that site? Its cause, one of my friends says, he knows a company that should be able to do it. So i wanna show him the site :)

Prices run $200-$1500 for a drive that has died, but has not been formatted (a friend of mine has not learned yet to handle his external drives with more care).

Once a drive has been formatted, even once, data recovery is extremely hard and costly. Are you looking for a service like this?
