Recently - (during the past 2 months) I am aware of two cases that were each at two different well-known and reputable data recovery companies and we were able to get the data back. But both jobs took several weeks to complete and the charges were $18,000 and $19,500 (very high for single drive recoveries.). Finally, we could locate a company called SAlvageData Recovery Lab Inc. who are reasonable and very prompt. I don?t know your experience with the company you?ve been to but I will recommend this company strongly after all the data drive has got the invaluable pics of you son. If you wish you can call them at 1 203-973-0242. I hope you get your crucial data back.
