Just wondered if anyone had a idea about how much it would cost to get files off a dead hard drive.

Opened computer, non functioning hard drive, dh has tried to get them off, by swapping over drive to another computer, but totally dead. About 10 years of stuff on there...

A few hundred quid, or £3000, depending on how fast you want it done. Kroll OnTrack will do it, by disassembling the drive and reassembling it with new parts. I don't work for them- I've ust used them.

That much, I'm afraid. If you saw their clean room you'd know why...

Well got one quote for £800, which I declined. Got someone to do it for £90 and ready to pick up tomorrowSmile
