The harddrive fell...

[pez]

URGENT HELP PLEASE.

My sister's external harddrive has just made friends with the floor. Now the computer wouldn't read it at all.

I *know* dropping it more or less = death, but anyway, has anyone had similar experience and had been able to rescue any data at all? There are things in the drive that she'd be willing to pay for data recovery, but is it even worth trying?

Ouch... I was going to say "nevermind, it was her boyfriend who dropped it so he's the one paying" but that isn't the sort of money either of them should pay when they're planning a wedding. =_=

It goes up to that, yes, but I seem to remember some recovery services as 'low' as 500€...
