[mdlug] local data recovery service

[Novak, Louis (L.M.)]

More details:

Windows (sigh) won't boot. Boot reports hard disk error 7
The Dell disk utility reports read and time-out errors.

Using an Ubuntu Live CD the drive is visible but does not mount 
as a secondary drive. 

I can try the software mentioned in another post, though I was looking
for a professional service such as this one located in Livonia:
www.ineeddatarecovery.com

Anyone have any experience with them or others in the area?

Thanks in advance.

Are you referring to actually pulling data off the bytes on the hard
drive?

As you might not see the data through a normal command line terminal.
