Local is good, but if the RW heads are shot, then you need someone with a clean room to disassemble the drive and either replace / repair or have a spare you can move the the platters into. Don't expect to get your drive back either. I have used DriveSavers before, they were excellent though not cheap. The service they provided was recovering data from a repartitioned and overwritten drive, not a drive with physical problems, though they have a very good reputation. They also have a 24/7 telephone number you can call for a quote. Good luck and share your experience. Andy -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "NLUG" group.
