[PLUG] HD recovery services

[Fred Williams]

1) Always keep backups
2) Never put your HD into the freezer - that trick has high risks
3) One time disk repairs should NEVER cost a penny unless you get data back
3a) Only businesses with large volume of HD to repair, ever pay fees for disks with no data and they always get volume discounts.

Rod,

We have recommended The Data Recovery Room out of Seattle before 
(206.575.7773 http://recoroom.com) with reasonable results.  I met with 
a guy in Hayden that is offering some data recovery services, Ben Keele 
of QualityByte Computers (208.714.4221 http://www.qualitybyte.com) but I 
haven't heard of anyone using his services.
