You'll find that the reliable, professional data recovery companies
will all come in with costs in the neighborhood of $1,600.

I had great reservations when I found myself where you're at.

Gillware does not charge if they don't get the data (which in itself  
scared me).
Yet, this is what they do; and they did a superb job of it.

I believe that Brian mentioned Gillware to me.

Fond regards,
George
