Hello again.
I need some recommendations.
My hard drive deceided to crash on Thursday night.
It's 30gigs of musical data.
I tried Norton Utility, Nuts & Bolts, Spinrite,
and Easyrecovery. Nothing works. Actually,
Norton and Spinrite made it a lot worse.
Data consists of six musical projects and Reaktor
musical software design.
Four of them is on-line, so I could recover them,
but all the individual tracks and masters are gone.
Two projects are new ideas that I have been working on it for days
and nights for past two years. I even took almost
year off from work to finish this.
I planned this for last five years.
I saved enough money to take time away from
work to work on more materials.
Day jobs alway disturb my musical ideas.
It's hard to sit on the streets and sample morning traffic
when you should be driving to work. :)
I realized my goals and dreams are more important than my career.
I have few datas back
up, but it's difficult back up 30 gigs in cd-r medias.
I have some classical musical works written down on paper,
but all the noise projects are impossible to recreate.
Can somebody can recommend me a good low price data
recovery center? My budget for this less than $800.
Anybody has experience with data recovery?
Please, don't send any e-mails about you should have
backup frequently or I feel bad for you. 
Please send only postive responses to get me through this.
Please send e-mails directly to nivek_krap@...
I really don't want to jump out the
window. 

Thank you

Using the Ontrack EasyRecovery Pro v5.0 should work. If it don't, there's
probably no hope left!

It has always worked for me ;)

hello ,
 mine did the same last week...
I  borrowed a hard drive, putted it in bios as primary master, configured 
mine as secondary slave , and backed up my files from there.it was a boot 
sequence kindof virus i believe..
 I didn't really  care about some loss of quality for my audio works, so I 
did encode most of them to gain space, and time...then 
burned,format,reinstalled, unencode, and took a beer. 
depends on How your HD crashed, but this solution should be  a simple 
workaround...maybe to simple,dunno, but hope it can help...if it doez, send 
me the 80$ at : dbase789@... : )
don't jump  the window, unless your at first floor...above wouldn't be 
reasonnable...

Looks like you've had some helpful replies on this topic. I hope one of 
them works out for you. You might consider soliciting a response from 
one of the *many* Computer specific forums here at Yahoo! Groups:

Good luck.

Hi Kevin,

   Your data sounds VERY valuable- you should spare no expense to 
recover it. If I were you- I would contact a data recovery service 
provider immediately. When I had a drive that wouldn't spin up- I paid 
$150 to a Data recovery service - it took about one week- but I got my 
data back. (I think the company I used was CBL data recovery- but they 
are probably not the only company out there).

   Best of luck,

Todd S.
