Exactly, but the more he hammers away with DIY, the more degraded the drive will become and chances of recovery are getting slimmer and slimmer.
I'm sure the same could have been said about your first posts on this board... that you should give up DIY and send it to a pro..
How does that feel? I find this funny... that everyone who was a newbie before and asked for help (and got it), in their time, now tries to brush off other people, as if they were never in their shoes
Don't know, but seems kind of unfair to blame everyone for DIY (if they are aware of the risks and accept them) on every corner.. even though you've been there yourself, most certainly..
It is fair to blame DIY when it involves high risk of sensitive data loss. It is always your data=your choice, but when it involves other people's data, then i think there is absolutely NO room for DIY.
Every experienced tech has been a newbie once, but as pcimage says, you have to draw the line and know when to stop. I have experimented with hundreds of drives in the last few years before I feel certain I will not ruin client's data. After that I started recovering live client cases. Until this point, I outsourced everything. Even now, when I don't feel sure about my self, I seek assistance from other pro's. It's better to gain less (or nothing, or even ...) instead of gambling.
Just my two cents to this conversation, nothing implied about you, electroglow.
It seems to me, that You are slightly missing the point here and smoothly bending it to your own agenda.. We can all agree, that what you are saying makes perfect sense and is widely accepted, noone would argue about it. But the case, here, is that the OP is already
aware of the implied risks and
accepts them completely, as he is not in the position of spending $ for a DR office. So, frankly, what use for him is the DIY rhetoric? It makes no difference to him. He is doing DIY intentionally, he has no other choice. That is why only telling him a 100 times something he already knows and agrees to - gets him nowhere, really.. If you want to help - do it, if not - let's be fair.. try to resist the temptation of posting bald statements that aren't helping the OP to get any more closer to the solution to his problem..
I am sure we all had our share of moments, when you ask for help and someone throws a "take it to a pro" in your face, in situations where it's so obviously inapplicable (when you are fully aware of the dangers and undergoing intentional DIY)..
