Thank you for your reply.
I take it from the tone of your scolding that I shouldn't expect any help here.
Please don't judge all the members of this forum based on your negative experience with one particular individual.

I'm not a data recovery professional, so I am free to help you to the limits of my ability (and patience), but others are constrained by commercial considerations. That said, the 7200.11 bug fix is just one of many trivial "data recovery" examples where large fees are charged for very little effort. Generally speaking, unless it's an invasive job, data recovery is a profession where what you know is worth much more than what you do. In the case of the 7200.11 bug fix, the Internet was an immensely positive force that empowered thousands of end users. It reduced a $1000+ data recovery to a DIY procedure costing only $5.
