My TV hard drive failed!

As you may or may not know, I store most of my TV on my hard discs/PC and use a Pinnacle Show Center to stream it to my TV.  Well, I went to access the latest Prison Break and whammo, the hard drive was gone.  Not registered in Windows and didn’t show on bootup.

 Aaargh fukety fuk!

Quick scour on the net and found that there was no way I could recover my data with software.  Instead I needed what was referred to as a ‘data recovery’ company.  So onto the net again, mining for data recovery companies.  Fees for data recovery seemed to range widely but I found that most did ‘no data recovery, no fee’. 

Anyway, I finally chose a data recovery company, namely 123 Data Recovery  Spoke to a nice guy Steve at 123 Data Recovery and he told me they could recover 100% of my data…bonzer!   Sent my 400gig hard drive off to 123 Data Recovery, 48 hours later it was back and ALL MY DATA WAS RECOVERED! 

I’ve now got my hard drive RAIDed so it has a mirror image of the hard drive at all time – stops me for spending another £100 on data recovery.  Again thanks to 123 Data Recovery for getting my data recovered A1.
