Eric,

We have used a company called Drive Savers and found them to be fair and
reasonably priced. The price you quoted below seems to be in the ballpark of
what they would charge, assuming they retrieved your data. However, they
only charge you a relatively small fee (I think about $400) to attempt the
recovery. If they don't get any data that is all you pay and if they get
data back the fee is determined by how much data they retrieved. There web
site is: http://www.drivesavers.com/.

Subject: [HP3000-L] Restore of crashed disc drive

Hi folks,
    With all this talk of crashed disc drives wouldn't you know it, the
38GB drive on my 5 year old Mac PowerBook G4 just crashed and the local
dealer said they(the tech at the dealer) could recover all the files
except  the mail files and of course it has been awhile since I backed
it up. He said they have access to a service that will almost guarantee
the files to be recovered, but the cost is $2700. Has anyone had any
experience with recovering data and what their costs might have been?

    Thanks for any input and yes of course a few pokes in the ribs for
not backing up my files daily are expected.....
