Default Hard drive recovery

My computer was damaged and I lost my hard drive with stuff from this site. I've had a new, larger drive installed and I still have my old drive. How much would it cost to repair it usually? I have one estimate from one source in the city costing about $800 which I feel was unusual. what should I do?

That depends.

What was the damage to the drive? Does it still physically work or not?

Is there anything on there that you would prefer people didn't see?

Frankly if all you have lost is the stuff you downloaded from here my advice would be to redownload it all and write the drive contents you lost off. If it still works reformat and use it as a back up drive. If it doesn't take it to bits to physically destroy the magnetic plate inside so it cannot be recovered and dospose of it sensibly.

Is any of your downloaded porn worth $800?

Is the hard drive physically damaged? If it's a software problem there are various steps you can take to try to recover the data. I can't give you specific advice, but it is important to learn as much as you can before you begin because trying the wrong things can make the problem worse.

Sure there are all kinds of apps that will recover lost data, but most often they are in unnamed files and it takes forever to sort through the jumbled mess. It may be simpler to redownload what he lost unless there's something more on there he wants to recover.
Until he answers the important question "Does it still physically work or not?" it's impossible to help him make any kind of decision or give anything but blanket advice.

It was damaged by a family member using my computer and I'm guessing the drive is damaged. I heard a clicking noise as it ran, probably physical damage to the drive. It has since been replaced with a larger drive.

I had internet bookmarks, papers, writings, music, movies and family pictures.

only one I bother to use is stellar phoenix 3. no comment on where I got it. takes 3 days to recover a 320gb hard drive 24/7 but it recovered it totally. however if the drive is extremely corrupted. like my old one for Windows 7 Beta. I think I'm SOL. Tried since December and gotten little out of it. hard drive likely is the culprit and not the software.

I had an old HD making clicking sounds as well. It was laying around for years and I discovered a program called 'Spinrite'. It runs in DOS mode but I had read pretty good things about it. I let it run on the HD and though it took a day or so it fixed the HD. I'm still using it to this day. It's not a free program but it did what it was supposed to do.

That clicking noise is a failure in the motor guidance unit of the reader arm. The drive may occassionally open up to be read but it will fail just as quickly. Software will not help you here.

You can try this but there are no guarantees.

Put the drive in a plastic bag and suck out all the air. Tape it shut and put the bag in the freezer for a few hours. While that's cooling make a list on a piece of paper of all the stuff you would like to get back. Start with the simple stuff like bookmarks and work your way to the big files. Make sure you know how to export things like bookmarks because if the drive does work you won't have long.

After about three hours [or overnight] take the drive out, connect it to your pc and boot it up. If you are lucky it will run for a bit and you can grab some stuff. If it does't work then it's physically shot.

The reason you were being charged $800 is because the only real solution if to open it up in a clean room, remove the magnetic disc, put it in a working unit and grab everything.

The moral of this story is back your stuff up.

well mine wasn't supposed to be free either. :P runs in windows though.

Sometimes my older Fujitsu Sata would do this (2.5 inch) Connection was not made good for whatever reason. I would take it out and slam it in and it'd work..

Freezer method I've tried never worked either. not entirely safe. never heard the bag before though. Blackberry offered the same suggestion to my dad though. He's got the 8500 Curve and I guess the MB tends to overheat so they suggested he stick it in the freezer. (though I think he should have removed the battery) Does the blackberry have a 1 inch hard drive in it or something?? I've got a 1 inch drive thanks to some company that went out of biz. With heat as a reminder I've had it last longer than most people. 12 gb Seagate inside. Have no clue how to hook it up should that enclosure fail though. Always thought it wouild hook up like a CF card. Nope, after the 1 year warranty ended I took it apart. (as I tend to do with everything and put it back together) thats how I learn to fix things.

secondary thing on your last one $800 uh haven't been quoted that high but my Syqest Syjet 1.5 gb cartridges were corrupted. I have a feeling I can get my stuff off those now with that program. Just gotta find the other two carts because I had given up on it. Anything from Windows ME on wants to write stuff to those carts and there's maybe 2-3 kb left and there's no way to do that. and clearly the warranty was shot the moment they locked the doors to the employees. $80 a cart and I had 4 of those at one time.
