I turned my Dell laptop on last night and got a BAD message...."no hard drive detected." After spending 90 minutes on the phone with Dell, they concluded (what I already knew) that my hard drive was toast.
Dell is sending me a new hard drive. Wondering if anyone in the Bay Area (preferably the South Bay) has a positive experience/luck with one of these data recovery companies.
I found two in the South Bay. One is called We Recover Data on Zanker in San Jose. The other one is Disk Doctors on Oakmead in Sunnyvale.
