My friend wants me to ask this for you guys. He had me post about his hard drive before, and he still hasnt fixed it.
Ryan said:I recently had an external HDD Drive that broke. So I ran though the tedius process. I took it out, tried IDE. Nothing. I googled for information and software. The software failed to make a long story short, and I don't wish to try others and possibly corrupt anymore data. I believe the problem to be physical at this point.
Now i have two questions...
I need help, I do not currently have the cash to send it in as of now (I'm 16 and unempolyed) So that being said, I have no clue where to send it in. I've seen sites, and I relize it's going to be very expensive, but I have alot of photos and I lost the backup, so I'm in a rough situation. I plan to get the drive back someday but am in no hurry.
OK, if anyone knows, what is THE best HDD recovery company out there? Then I would like to know the best HDD recovery for my money. I also am looking for privacy and knowing my HDD is in good hands
Which then brings me to my next question:
I know by plugging the drive in i'm risking losing more data, so I won't, but do you think leaving it for a long period of time will do damage?
It would be of great help, you have no idea, Thanks!
