Defending the repair man who you are automatically assuming is a cowboy, whilst you can do that as soon as you mention the cost of doing it most people don't want to pay. They expect it to be done as part of the job and will gladly have you waste hours of your time for free but when you say it costs £30/hr or they can send it off to a data recovery company that'll charge £100s for 10/20/30GB recovery they don't want to know.

Huh , the post says the HD is stuffed,
1) how did they manage to format it, and did they put windows back on?
2) it is possible to recover data for free

My opinion as the OP says they don’t wan’t to be scammed , too lete thus far

?? What on earth.....?
What has any of what you have written here have to do with what has taken place?

Has anyone asked for the' cowboys' to run data recovery? Perhaps you know something that we don't?
