Hi Robert, I have restored data from a hard drive that had a burned out IC board. Bought the same model and make, transferred to the card, worked fine for retrieval. Didn't trust it for long term but short term it did fine. THere are companies out that that could have removed the platters, read them into a file and returned you data to you. In this particular thread the service providers were criminally negligent, stupid, incompetent, thoughtless, and every other similar descriptive I could think of. It is their responsibility to think of the customer even when the customer doesn't know what is should think. I said it before; It was their job to do the right kind of work. Such incompetence just BURNS me!!! There are always alternatives. Newton Mumble, grumble GDMFSOBAH, etc., etc. Bitch moan slobber complain, scream etc. etc. etc. robert goodale wrote: > Not necessarily.
