The Data that is very Impotent. Some people says that it's Dead , but i know there will be a way to recover data from it.

I am not a advance user in HDD Repair, Please tell me what to do...

Thanx

Sounds very much like heads problem.

Nothing you can do DIY.

Requires head exchange in cleanroom to stand any chance of recovery.

Parts very expensive for this , so don't expect a $100 recovery.

Pm if you are prepared to ship to uk for quote.

Unless there is anyone on here nearer to you who can handle this.... guys?

I agree with pcimage, not a DIY job, specially if you consider it important data.

I don't know anyone around you, only in Europe.

I'm busy with one at the moment - not cheap, agreed.

Too right! Had loads in for recovery quotes, but few accept the costs.

These babies can gobble up $300 worth of parts pretty quickly!!

This particular baby (I prefer the term monster) managed to hold out, so no gobbling thankfully. Still, not my favourite!
