Comments on: What is an educated estimate for the retrieval of data from my damaged hard-drive? http://www.sigir08.org/?p=65 automated storage and retrieval system Wed, 20 Jan 2010 12:04:55 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: UK_Andrew http://www.sigir08.org/?p=65&cpage=1#comment-248 UK_Andrew Mon, 11 Jan 2010 16:28:34 +0000 http://www.sigir08.org/?p=65#comment-248 Well, I used Disk Labs (www.disklabs.com) in the UK and it cost around £450 in 2007. It depends how valuable the data is on the disk to make a decision on whether you're going to pay it or not. Is the disk not showing up in your BIOS? If it actually shows in the BIOS you may be able to use a program like Spinrite to make the disk temporarily readable again.
