Lucky for you Kroll Ontrack is located in Eden Prairie and they are
data recovery specialists. Not lucky for you because they are not
cheap. Last time I heard they charge based on the amount of data they
recover. In the event of a hardware failure, one of their strategies
is to track down the same drive model and swap the mechanical
components.<br>

There web address is: <a href="http://www.ontrackdatarecovery.com">http://www.ontrackdatarecovery.com</a>.
If you do use them, I'd be curious how they are? Expensive?
Accurately? Timely?<br>

<br>
I just had the misfortune of having my hard drive crash on me ... it
seems like a mechanical failure ... horrible clicking noises ...<br>
<br>
There is some data on there that I haven't backed up recently, plus, I
had used this drive as a backup for data on some other hard drive ...
while this is not catastrophic data loss, I was wondering if folks had
any suggestions for recovering data in the face of mechanical failure
... or what it might cost if I paid some service for data recovery in
the twin cities.
<br>
<br>
It is a ext3 file system .. though not sure that matters ... <br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Subbu.<br>
