Yes black st maybe the people who access to this site, think they can got " easy solutions" to their cases, because they tried to find the way to do it by self, and they dont understand this field Data Recovery are not " one button solutions" i had check a lot of people who think the solution its bought "pc3k, salvation, deepspar, etc" products and from this way i can be a data recovery company with a lot of years of experience, but they dont understnad nothing about the "Engineering of HDD¨s"

Regards

Or we can make some money selling them ACE or SD products... then sending them to the respective tech support (after this, neither ACE or SD will give resellership... ) . Just like shopping malls : they sell and get revenue, the troubles and eventually losses are left to manufacturers. That's life. Bad, bad... :S

hahaha.. I agree with this,.
I tell you some funny story. and my client really make thing become nothing.
here in my country DR fee is cheap.. I got one case and I charge only a little money to recovery the data. My client say I'm crazy even HD do not cost such money. he try to struggle by himself and finally he found chinese Guy who sell faik PC3K. and he purchase the tool. and try to recover by Himself. with no knowledge about HDD and finally he can make the HD detected. he was very Happy because He think his data is Come back. but he see nothing of his data becuase He have damage its Original Translator.
try to find others solution and contact the person who sell the tool to him. Very Very Sorry. The seller suggest him to open the drive and think it is head problem. Hahaha Now the really big mistake. He change its Head. and NOW KNOCKING.... Wow very complicated...
he got frustation and finally give up and send to me again this drive but I reject this drive and told him

"SORRY I can not help you anymore with this condition. You have make thing become Nothing"

i have similar case where customers dismantled platters and try to DIY (swapping multiple platters). Finally failed and he brought it in with the platters inside a plastic bag and said "Could you please recover my data? I have very important stuff in there. I said you can modify the platters as a hanging clock or a mirror in your bathroom.

Its frustrating and angry to see someone who do not know anything about DR and try to DIY, eventually stuff it up badly.

thanks for support

These tools already knew them but I have read that many restrictions on extraction.

these tools seem more efficient. I think I buy these.

software to recover data I have so many is working.
My problem is just remove the plates and heads

I completely agree with terranova, I would not encourage you to attempt this yourself. If you do, then please keep us updated as I an sure it will fail and may discourage others from attempting some DIY

Your going to spend a lot of money on tools you have no idea to use.

I hope he's buys the salvation platter removal device and his hard drive has spacers.

That make me a bad person?

I dont think so, its only experience vs inexperience, wich could left the hdd worst, this is another funny story, last year we receive an wd1600bb, the hdd knocks, when we opened, check the last head was lifted up, im ask why, was from an university, and said the tech support department tried to "fix" the bad head, good solution broken up the head to get data back
