Thanks for all the help guys.

Here's one for ya............. the drive started working again for no apparent reason. Nothing changed. Windows just started being able to access it again. Cool huh? Now it's all being backed up over about 30 CDs... hehe.

Thanks again :D
Cheers,
Mike.
 
Glad it worked out for you.

And if backing up to 30 CDRs seems like a hassle, just be aware that the CHEAPEST data recovery company will cost probably several thousand dollars, with no promises of success. So always backup! Not a bad idea to keep an additional drive in the system just for additional quick backup storage.
 
yeah...we Data REcovery companies have no conscious.
 
"Conscious" is illrelevant; it's simply a matter of chargeing what the market will tolerate. As I'm sure you know well.

In any event, the moral of the story is that anything worth saving is worth backing up.
 
or backing up twice.

I do alot of data recoveries on back-ups! :)

Yeah, data recovery is expensive, no doubt. But for some it is money well spent. Others, not so much.

I just did a recovery on a drive from a roland workstation. 100% recovery. Will it be worth it to the customer? we shall see...
 
Nifty! The data recovery companys that I am (not very) aquainted with are mostly on the west coast, and typically deal with standard computer/server drives. Most of them probably wouldn't know a Roland workstation from a hole in the ground, although if the Roland uses a standard hard drive it wouldn't matter. From my experiance you typically overnight ship your drive to them (along with your wallet & first born child) and then they charge you by the hour while trying to recover your data.
Anyways, if you don't mind, I'd be curiious what your price structure is - and how much did the guy with the Roland have to shell out?
