[QUOTE="Pimpom, post: 2522371, member: 38308"] Thanks for the reply. Oh, I've done plenty of data recovery myself but they were always for others. This is the first time I'm facing any problem with my own storage in 30 years of using computers. What I mean is this: A head crash could cause only a tiny bit of damage, maybe a couple of sectors. No problem with that. But a more serious crash could score the surface coating, causing tiny bits of magnetic material to fly around, maybe even block the head travel in some places and cause endless problems. I'm moving to an all-SSD system anyway and the HDD itself is to be discarded. Maybe I'll do a surface scan and be able to transfer everything normally. Using a professional data recovery company is only a last resort, just in case. I just wanted to have some ballpark estimate of how much they'll charge in such cases. [/QUOTE]
