All,
I'm new to the um-Linux list and this is my first post. A friend
of mine recommended this list after I told him about a problem I am having.
My power supply, main hard drive and backup hard drive just went down last
Friday after a power surge. The main hard drive wont turn on and the
backup supply won't mount, I can see the partitions but no matter what I
do I can't get it to mount. Also it's making a lot of clicking noises.
I've tried fsck but it returns an error that includes a bad super block as
a possibility.
Anyway, I am looking into sending the main hard drive, the one that
doesn't power on, to a data recovery center. I was hoping someone on this
list could give me some advice on which particular center I should send my
disk to. None of my friends have had to do this before and I was hoping
to get some first hand recommendations before I send my disk off to some
company that promises a lot but and delivers nothing. Have any of you
sent a Hard drive to a data recovery center before? Were they actually
able to recover your data? How much did it cost you? Would you recommend
them to me?
Thanks in advance for the help,
-Yohance
