I love smooth recoveries like this though. Seems to be a good week for them, been having a lot like that come in here too.

What was the head map of that one anyway?

Just got one in here myself. It had a nice ring in the platter right where the heads park, so no chance of recovery.

Yeah, Tenorshare has been spamming my forum as well. It's a shame that these companies hire spammy SEO companies to link build on forums like this instead of having a real rep join and have meaningful interaction with the data recovery pros.
