Re: Advice needed on recovery option of a Seagate Rosewood

Avoid computer shops at all costs, especially box stores. It sounds to me that there could be a weak head. Even if not, I think you have done all that you can with DIY without it totally dying. You can send to us at Recovery Force or use another data recovery listed at www.datarecoveryprofessionals....

Re: Help - Dell PowerEdge PERC H700 8 physical disk drive array - drive 3 missing

Wow, even Tom's Hardware advice recommends a professional lab to you. I've been banned from their fourms a dozen times because I refute the horrible advice given by people who have no clue or software vendors trying to sucker you into buying a license. Anyway.

If you value your data, remove the drives and get them into the hands of a data recovery professional without doin...

Re: Long File Paths - Still

It is now 2025 and still no fix. Just tried to select specific files and folders from the Users directory and it is just a complete mess. It is so bad, it is embarrasing.

Re: Doubt HDD parking

I'm not letting the latest post go through. As I already said, I'm tired of beating a dead horse. Ive seen your posts all over the forums and they are driving me nuts. If you want to ask questions about a real data recovery case, fire away.
