ysobelleDisk Warrior didn't work. Nothing has worked. Bereft of hope-- for now-- I've started looking for options. I called Springboard, and they were astronomical: $212.50 for labour, and $229 for a 100 GB drive. Bundy, astonishingly, was half that-- $179 for a 100 GB drive (which is what Springboard wanted for an 80 GB drive) and $93 to put it in. Bundy's also right around the corner, and they'll only take a day or two to do the work. They usually use Seagate or WD drives.
Could be worse, right?

cyberthorn. He works ONE BLOCK from me, we've just discovered, so we're meeting up at Starbucks downstairs after work. If HE says it's dead, THEN it's dead. I still owe him and his lovely autumnyte wife dinner.

Date: 2006-05-24 07:50 pm (UTC)That latter option sounds like a great deal. Of course, they're marking up the drive to compensate for the surprisingly low labor charge, but they're marking it up WAY less than the first shop. In your position, even as an APP, I'd run not walk to Bundy's and get it done. Make certain to tell them to save the excised drive in an antistatic package and return it so that you might send it to a recovery place later. Or to a friend with high-level recovery tools - hint, hint. I once did a good-as-new drive recovery for a client just but switching in a known-good controller board.
Oh, and DEFINITELY get a Seagate drive. WD recently switched most production to Thailand while simultaneously cutting costs and increasing production for a big contract with Wal-Mart, and there are reports of declining quality control therefore.
