Whatever you do do NOT use Tech Fusion in Cambridge.
When I needed a recovery I send my drive to http://www.datarecoverylabs.com/
They do not charge you if they are unable to recover your data.
I was talking to another manager here this morning and I mentioned Tech
Fusion and he went through the roof. His company had spent thousands of
dollars at Tech Fusion with no results.

Actually, I used another company that had a no fee policy, but they
could not recover it and they sent it (with my permission) to Data
Recovery Labs. I got 100% of my data back. The big thing is the no
up-front fee. when I did my research on data recovery I called Tech
Fusion and they wanted a significant up-front fee.
