Drive is failed in OS. Drive was loading latest Anti-Virus software and on reboot did not complete booting. Would not be recognized as having a system. BIOS recognizes the drive; however when slaved to another machine Windows does not recognize it. R-Studio was run with minimal recovery of data. Drive was never opened. Drive has original parts. No firmware recovery attempts. Maxtor Powermax was run with result of drive going bad.

• I like the flat rate approach, no surprises at all. I was really worried about the data and the thought I lost it all made me feel awful. The recovery was fast and everyone I dealt with at your company did their best to make the process is painless as possible. Thank you, thank you and thank you...

The computer was fine when we left in one evening. When we turned it on the next morning, the computer did not come up (just blinks). Then we turned it off and restarted. It came up with the message "Press F1". Once F1 was pressed, it came up with the same message "Press F1". That continued for few times. Then we had sent the computer to our IT department. They told us: BIOS: acknowledges Hard Drive. Dell IDE Diagnostics: Error reading drive. Knoppix: No Hard Drive found.

• Thank you for your efficient work in restoring our data.
