I dropped my 30 GB.
It is a western Digital.
now the HD does not want to work and makes a loud noice. I want to know of a way that i can get the info out.
A company, serive, technique that will help me acomplish this is apreciated.
keep in mind that i'm not talking about bad sectors or corrupt file system or anything like that..
I'm talking about possible physica damage.

neo, sorry to here of your misfortune. There is a computer show that is on DirecTV that had a guy on that has a company that can get the information off of your hard drive and put it on a new one. I don't recall the name of the company but try going to techtv.com/screensavors and do a search. As i recall it is pricey. Im sure there our other companies that do this also. I hope ive helped you a little anyway.

Go to your favorite search engine and type in "data recovery", there's a million companies that will do it.

keep in mind most of these data recovery services charge an arm and a leg and you still have to purchase a new drive. someone else posted a while ago "whats your data worth to you?" Keep backups of everything from your Audio files to your Zoo pictures.

Its not funny,
dont you pukes have some homework to do?

Data recovery CAN be expensive.It really depends on the amount of data and its importance.
Since it acually still functions to some degree,I would try these people

http://www.actionfront.com/index_us_home.asp

They offer a free evaluation and free recovery service!!
What do you have to lose except postage??
