OK so awhile back I recall someone offering data recovery services. I have a hard drive that failed and I need to get atleast the digital pics off of. It's a Maxtor DIAMONDMax Plus 9 120GB drive, it sounds like it spins up then beep click does it again. My bios does see it all though it sees it as a 2GB drive now. I'd rather give someone here some business then send it off to a bunny suit lab.

My best,
Mike D.

I have used these guys for my work and they did recover everything. It wasn't that expensive as I recall. Give they're 1-800 number a call and just talk to them to see what it might cost. They say on their website that there are two types of hard drive failures. There is logical (which is when you need to recover something you deleted) and physical (which is when the drive actually had some kind of hardware failure). Most of the time when it just stops working, it's a physical failure and no software that anyone has is gonna get your data back. These guys will actually open up your hard drives and mount the platters on a machines made specially to read them to get you data back and they will send you DVDs with your data coppied on them. If you know where your data resided and you only want specific data (like all your pictures), the price is usually cheaper than recovering the whole drive. They have locations around the country - give them a call.
