The hard drive on my son's laptop has messed itself up, and our local computer shop techies, having had it on "recovery" for two weeks, now say they can't recover any of the data from it, but that what my son could do is send the hard drive off to a specialist company for a free quote to see if they can get any of it back. My son is especially keen to get his photos back and also his ITunes (having spent quite a bit on buying ITunes songs).
Has anyone here tried any of these specialist companies and would you recommend them? We've found one online that charges £97, but don't know whether or not they are reliable and have a good reputation/success rate.
