All,
A customer of mine has a hard drive which has gone bad. He expressed a desire to use a data recovery service to recover any data. Being new to the area, can anyone recommend a data recovery service in the area?
Thanks, Patrick
Patrick,
Try David Maenle and Henry Garza III at Payless Computers at 8107 Wornall Road in Kansas City MO. Their telephone number is (816) 822-0111.
David recently (Jan 07) recovered virtually all of my wife's business data (five year's worth) from a failing hard disk in an HP Pavilion Laptop. Took a couple of days and cost $90.00.
I highly recommend these very capable and very friendly young men.

Ontrack Data Recovery services:
Not cheap, but they can do bare metal data recovery and they have a Clean room facility so thay can even access the data directly from the platters. Be sure to get a quote first. Like I said, they are not cheap, but they can get the data back.
Thanks,

dd_rescue is part of the knoppix distribution. I have been able to recover all data from failing hard drives with dd_rescue. Start by letting the bad drive cool; create a situation where there is another drive with enough space to hold an entire image of the bad drive (or bad partition) and dd_rescue it over.

The freezer trick has been known to work, but a study on hard drive failures that was recently released by Google suggests that drives fail frequently when they are running "cold." Freezing and then warming the drive causes expanding and contraction, which may shift internal components enough to temporarily fix minor mechanical problems. But make sure you don't run the drive while it is extremely cold, or you may end up further damaging the drive. Let it return to room temperature before putting it back in your machine.
An interesting note: according to Google's data, drives that averaged 35-45C (95-115F) running temperature seemed to have lower failure rates than those that were running cooler or hotter. Perhaps liquid cooling your hard-drives isn't such a great idea after all.

Some even go so far as to put it in the freezer. This can help if the drive is failing to spin up or seek too. _______________________________________________ Kclug mailing list [email protected] http://kclug.org/mailman/listinfo/kclug
