Check out this article - http://www6.tomshardware.com/storage/20050530/
- over at tomshardware its pretty informative look at the process of
data recovery ... not quite what you were asking for, but a good read --
and it does talk about several services and their cost.

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,
