Just had a laptop hard drive fail on me a couple of days ago, it just makes the familiar tick, tick, tick sound when trying to boot. I managed to pull some data from it before it went, but still have a lot of unbacked up data on it. My guess would be the plates are fine, just the thing doesn't want to spin anymore. I was wondering if anyone had feedback on what the general costs are for data recovery services on hard drives that have failed. Also, any recomendations on where to take it? -David _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
