Help with hard drive

Wedding pix so I'll have to bite the bullet.

I was trying to call data sniffer but all the techs were busy.

I would call OnTrack and see what they say. Maybe they have better rates for the average person. The company I used to work for in Chicago used them all the time and we always had 100% success rates, but the cost was like $1500-$2500 depending on how much data was recovered.

OUCH!!!

It's a 330 Gig drive but I only had about 30 Gigs used. Can they be selective in the data recovered. I'm only interested in the jpg files.

Yeah, basically, data recovery places know that if you are calling them, they have your balls in a vice.

I'm not sure what options they have exactly, so it might be worth a phone call to see. You know, lay on the sob story about the wedding pics real thick and all.

Data loss, especially photographic data loss, is quite painful. I have learned my lesson, a couple times in fact, and I will do whatever I can to prevent it from happening in again in the future...

I know. I'm just rattling your cage since I'm in the middle of a very boring telecon & I'm losing my mind.
