I have a 60 gb portable hard drive that I have recovered a lot of data off 
of with the tools I have, there are a couple more folders the user needs and 
the hard drive is now not accessable.  I am planning to send it off to a 
data recovery firm. 

Dell has 5 companies they recommend, two of them are below. 

Does anybody out there have any experience with data recovery through: 


Company                  Estimate
Ontrack                  $500 - $2250    $100 EVAL INCLUDES LIST OF FILES
                                                        Dell referral gets 
free eval
Drivesavers              $1300--$1985 

Are these prices in line with what the rest of you have paid? 

Can you tell me of other dependable companies that have cleanroom and head 
crash recovery capabilities?
