Subject: Failed 8 month old IBM hard drive
> That whole hard drive thread jinxed us.
>
> Our 120 GIG IBM drive just failed. It goes "clink, clink, clink, clink"
> and won't mount.
>
> We tooko it to a data recovery place where for $85 they told us it was
> definitely a physical failure.
>
> They want another $300 to take it into a clean room and take it apart to
> see if they can get a directory listing. IF and ONLY IF they can get a
> directory listing, then it would be another $1000-$3000 to pull the
> stuff off to CD's.
>
> The really bad part of this and why I am freaking? ALL 10,000+ of our
> digital pics from the past 2 years are on this. All the Europe pics, our
> wedding pics, party pics, all kinds of events. Many GIGs worth of
> photos.
>
> It was our backup hard drive for our files, and our destination drive
> for our software downloads. Some of this I have backups of, but not of
> the pictures. OH boy what a lesson to learn ... It's like having all
> your pictures burn up in a fire.
>
> My question to you lot ... What are our options?
>
> Right now I know I'm on the horn to IBM IF I can get a number to
> complain very loudly.
> But what about the data? Is that the right price to recover stuff like
> this?
> Is there something we can do?
> Does anyone have a data recovery service they recommend???
>
> ANY and ALL HELP is appreciated ..
>
> And no, I don't need to be told to back up more often. Lectures are not
> needed. Thank you.
> Already upset enough over the possible loss of our 2-year history of
> photos. Especially our fantastic Eiffel Tower shots. <sigh>
