Does anyone know of someone who can recover data from a crashed computer harddrive. This one has well an truly crashed, keeps tripping out the system,I think my life depends on it. Failing that has anyone a dozen inert 9MM practise rounds for a glock, just so when she checks it appears to be loaded

at best, with that one you need a logic board from an identical drive and then pray it wasnt the motor that took the logic board out.
only a specialist service will be able to recover that one .... and they are mega bucks ...

Is the disk just refusing to boot, or can you hear it clicking and whirring as in physical damage??
Short of a professional recovery, mount it as a slave in a different PC and run one of the recovery tools (Which one will depend on how screwed it is and what it's symptoms are) against it from there. Get the data of quick if it reads it at all, as it may deteriorate more.

does the drive still spin up? if so your in with a chance....
a brain board off of a same brand/series drive put in should work.....
DONT be tempted to go the route of swapping the platters into another unit. Thats a pros job and so long as it hasnt dropped a head or siezed the drive motor the data will be recoverable.
I know of a couple of places that do do it but it aint cheap, what was on the drive that was so important and wheres the backup?

The disc contains all of my wife's assignments which I was supposed to email off, you know "Yeah, yeah love in a minute" as I was scrolling through the Aulro site at the time. Next thing I know .........the lights went out. Computer would not reboot, would not even turn on, soon as you hit the start button it tripped out. Rip it out and down to Inc's Computer Emporium and it tripped his system out as well (Did you eventually get that back up and running Inc ?) So far I have a fried Rom drive and harddrive (replaced with new from Inc) appears the motherboard is crook and the AMD cpu is only running on 2 cylinders. What happened?.....no idea, just went bang. May have been a power surge, which is what I first suspected. I have all my Public service Appeals evidences on it as well, but can re-do that.....just time.
Back up ? ......well yes I do know how to do that........and uhummmmm will be from now on. Used to in the early days but stopped as I have never had a problem before.
More concerned in getting Naomi's stuff back as she has spent a considerable amount of time and effort on it.
Any contact details you can supply would be appreciated.
Re these rounds, will only need inert ones as she has boxes and boxes of the killer ones

This common error means you fail to save, and lose mountains of data. Eric Northwood, the boss of Data Recovery Services in Lilyfield, often deals with students who cry on his shoulder after losing their doctorates.
Then there are photographers who can't retrieve data from digital media cards after fashion shoots, and pop groups that cannot recover album files.
One of Northwood's customers even managed to lose data stored on a Raid system. "It's meant to be fault-tolerant and totally recoverable - it has seven or eight hard drives," he says. "But my client lost a terabyte [1000 gigabytes] of data and he was driving down the freeway saying that he was on a big contract 'and if the client doesn't get the data back, he'll pull me!'."
Northwood says the strain put on companies by permanent loss of information greatly increases the chances they will fold.

SubscriberI usually rip into users on IT sites that don't back up, but I think "normal" non-professional users all seem to have to learn this the hard way, once. So, you have my sympathies.Re these rounds, will only need inert ones as she has boxes and boxes of the killer ones
I've only ever had professional recovery done once (For the CEO of my old employer, and even HE go the backup lecture!) and that was 10 years or so ago, and it was a couple of thousand pounds back then. This may be one of those things which has come down in price though....
If the PC died in an electrical failure that took out the mobo and other stuff, at least the data should be safe on the platters - you just need someone who can get at it. Unless you're lucky enough to be able to get an identical (and I mean identical, not just same size form same manufacturer, as control electronics or geometry may still be different) you're still looking at a pro house though.
Re the Glock - I'd suggest the first round is live, as she's bound to shoot you in the balls first, then go for the kill shot when she knows it's working and you've suffered enough.
