[Geeks] another question from Kristin...

are any of our geeks knowledgeable on the subject of hard drive data recovery?

as you may have seen Andy quote under his Thought Residue this week:
<http://wunderland.com/WhatsOld/2007/WN.05.03.07.html>

"I'm riding on several bummers right now: 1) The hard drive where I keep all my video files stopped working (and I may have lost forever the high rez versions of a few of my recent movies)."

He sent the drive to Seagate, and they want $2350 to recover it!

We need the data...  do I just pay it?
They've got me right where they want me...

Any advice or suggestions?
