I have an NTFS drive that, all of a sudden, stopped working. This is not my system drive. Attempts to access the drive get a message that there is no recognized file system on the drive. I tried Norton Disk Doctor and got the same result. This is really odd because the drive was working fine and I was putting data on it, then it just stopped working. I've tried re-seating the drive's connector but that didn't help. Anybody got any good recommendations for data recovery software or, alternatively, a good lab to which I can send the drive to recover the data? Thanks. |

well, if the drive can be read at all, you can use another win2000 or winxp system to read it, just plug the drive into another computer running either xp or 2000, in the proper setting (master or slave preferably on the secondary channel; i do it this way) and recover the data. if it can't be read, then you need to determine whether it'll have to be recovered professionally, and if it's worth the money you'd spend doing so. |

Yeah, I tried this - no joy! Just the way the drive was acting, I figured that it probably got its file table screwed up, or maybe there was a head crash or something.

This is what I'd like to get some recommendations about. Does a forum participant know of some good software for post-mortem data recovery? Or, alternatively, have experience with a data recovery lab and can make a recommendation?
Thanks for your input. |

This may be too late now, but my company specializes in Data Recovery. If we can't recover the data then you pay nothing, and there is no fee to evaluate your media to see what can be recovered. I don't really know of any off the shelf solutions software solutions, but even if we can't recover the data in-house we have a class 100 clean lab that we use.
Prices for logical recovery start at $149 for 1Gig of data. Any clean room work for physical recoveries (i.e. the drive was in a fire, flood or other catastrophic disaster) is a flat $1,995 no matter how much data needs to be recovered. Again, we don't charge anything unless we can recover the data you want. If you have any questions, please feel free to call 1-877-646-0546, or visit www.advancedcomputersystems.com
