I know a great place for hard drive repair in canada. They get it all done for only $800 or so which is a really good deal.

What you need to do is put your old hard drive in your computer as a slave drive.  Then get a program (I usually use r-studio) to recover your files.  More than likely if can recover almost everything you wanted back.  I have r-studio I could send you over AIM, but I wont be able to get on my home computer until after this weekend since I’m out of town.

Or, lost leave your computer on for more than a few days!

And defrag your hard drive numerous times a week.  This will keep it from becoming corrupted or the boot-sector being erased.

NOPE! That includes a new hard drive and replication from the old to the new. You pay nothing if they can’t get the data.
