Does anyone know of uk service to recover data from physically damaged hard drive

Hi,

I have a hard drive which does not spin. When it was spinning I tried using recovery software to retrieve my data and nothing I did worked. I have been through the forum and followed advice from various threads. I have now reached the stage where I'm happy to send the drive off to get the data recovered. Please let me know the name of a company in the UK, preferably South East England who can help.

Thanks

 

I understand your problem but you will have to weigh up the cost of this recovery and they are expensive usually starting at around 100 pounds.
If you still want to go along this route here are a few.

Have you tried the freezer trick?It sometimes works.
Wrap your drive in several layers of paper toweling and place inside a zip-lock bag. Put into the freezer compartment of your refrigerator for at least a day.
Remove and install back into machine and try to access data.Cool temps sometimes contracts the metal and will let it rotate again for a while, so grab your data quickly if it works.
