    Dead Drive Problems.
    « on: June 30, 2008, 04:43:39 AM »
    I know there is software to retrive info off of drives, but I never messed with a dead one.  Is it possible to self fix it or do I have to send it to maxtor?  There is data I want off the drive.

    By the way, sending a drive to a company that does data recovery can cost a lot...like $3000.00.

    If the software doesn't work your going to have to ask yourself how bad do you want the data?

              I find Snapfiles.com a very trustworthy site. Don't worry.  ;)

                I have used Snapfiles.com for years. They don't put spyware in there software and they have some pretty good software.
