Hard Drive Recovery Service

Anyone know of any good Hard Drive recovery services?  I am in Glasgow, tried a few local places, but not having any luck.  Any around the UK that are good?

There's a company called https://www.cheadledatarecovery.co.uk

I've not used them but when I had an issue (*), they seemed very professional

* = it was for a friend who decided he didn't want to spend the money!

Seconded also.

Yet another poster needing learning....or rather getting  it by experience. No insult intended but .....have you a backup or more and reload disc from backup.?

Much more convenient and a lot cheaper than paying  for data recovery. If not do make it a future action to backup.

Also ( not answering the original post I know ) but are you certain that the drive cannot be repaired yourself ( with help if needed ) and then go on from there?

Have you tried any recovery software yourself before handing it over so quickly to someone else?

I had an episode last year. Recovery software got a lot back but there was also a lot that it didn't get back.

Before spending £hundreds on data recovery, I'd take it to a local electronics repair shop. It might just be that the disk itself is fine and it's simply a cap that's blown on the mainboard or something along those lines.
