humm... some time back my harddisk was not booting, so i put it to slave and booted by another harddisk and then browse this hdd's drives... and then copied the content of the corrupted disk drives to the good one, and everything was backed! cheers!
I know a company that does great work, but they are not cheap. How important is the data? Worth $1,000?
actually you can still backup your data using the software Data recovery pro although it won't guaranty to backup 100 percent of your data but more or less I think about 50 to 70 percent will be backed up, you just need to connect your hard disk to a computer then use the Data recovery pro to backup your data.
YOu can hire data recovery experts who will remove the hard drive disk and take teh data off it manually, they can also work through disks that are corrupt themselves. These guys are your best bet at recovering your porn stash
