Subject: RE: Failed 8 month old IBM hard drive
| Thanks for the hugs ...
|
| quick update. GOOD UPDATE
|
| We have a deleted files recovery program.
|
| When we got the 120 gig drive, we moved all the photos over from other
| drives, then deleted them.
|
| We just scanned those drives and it looks like we can re-cover almost
| 3/4 of them if not all ... oh boy. I can't explain how much better this
| makes me feel ... oh boy ... I'll let you know how much we recover.
|
| Might not have to bawl now ........ we'll be missing current pictures
| after September this year ... but that's ok ... most of those I have on
| the web ...
|
| Keeping fingers crossed ....
|
| Cheers,
| Erika

| *Snuggles* I'm sorry darlin. If you want data recovery its normally not
| cheap but my friend has some of the software they use to try to recover
| data let me see if he can help out. No promises but i'll do whatever i
| can i know how much it sucks when your H'D's die its like a portion of
| your life. All my pics of me are in Digital if i lost my computer i
| would have no history of myself. I feel your pain but if 2 years history
| is worth 1-3 grand then go for it. I would probably have paid that price
| to get back alot of the stuff i lost a couple years ago.
|
|
| Good luck Erika, i'm sure someone on the list can hax0r you some
| software for data recovery though *snuzzles*

| 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>
|
| Cheers,
| Erika
