Data recovery and disk repair questions and discussions related to old-fashioned SATA, SAS, SCSI, IDE, MFM hard drives - any type of storage device that has moving parts

could you recommend me a data recovery company in UNITED KINGDOM, LONDON, that is very professional, know what they are doing, i would know the location where my hdd is being kept at, and what is being done to it, because ive read up so many bad things about data recovery services, some just receive the drive, and bin it, and say that the drive is dead, some companies dont even exist, there PCWORLD and they have apparently "data recovery labs" but even they have terrible reviews, i am so lost, if i knew a professional and reliable company with real reviews, and legitamate professionals that actually do their job, a physical store which you can deliver your drive to, i would pay for the recovery
however if you guys are willing to read the log i have made towards recovering my HDD, here is the issue:

Why on earth did you decide to apply that Seagate fix if it wasn't busy or lba0?
STOP RIGHT NOW!
You have a crashed hard drive with probable media damage and possibly failing heads as well.
I would stop messing with the drive as you have already added extra costs to your final recovery bill.
You need to find a data recovery company with a Deepspar 4 imager or similar and if you are lucky they will create an image and get most or all of your data for a fee of a few hundred pounds.

http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/170938- ... te-720011/I cannot help you on this, you can try asking over at hddguru, that forum's members (besides a few casual passers by) are mainly professionals (usually with a very bad character, extremely unwilling to help and often disturbed by the questions of newbies, but that obviously know where their towel is) and you may make contact with one of them working in London.
No bad rep here then

Thanks Fzabkar for saving me the trouble, I did read them many moons ago, so shame on me.
Dammit, now I just have to get me one of those towels!

there is a point that you don't interfere with someone that is working for you.
Yes you should know that they are doing their job ethically and they know what they are doing, but unless YOU have the knowledge required to fix it yourself, you are not going to know if you are dazzled with brilliance or baffled with bullshit.
You are going down a path where people are going to hesitate to have you as a customer.
I understand the idea you have but the execution of it is not going to help you find the magical master of Hard Drives you seem to be seeking
