We can recover anything... for a price.
I lost 223 GB of data some 6 years back. I was bloody depressed as it had all my music collection. I just called up some recovery guy and asked him the details. He said, the first 5GB will be Rs. 8000/- then for every next 1GB around Rs. 1500.
For bulk recoveries, i.e 100GB or 200GB of data, around Rs. 60,000/- MINIMUM that too depending on the type of files or something like that. And on top of that they don't guarantee a 100% success rate. :(
Professional recovery agents are even more expensive.

Damn that is too expensive.... i should use my drive more carefully...
my hard disk is seagate FreeAgent GoFlex Desk STAC2000300 it is said on the net that it is 7200rpm
Copperstone:
^ Most of the external HDDs are 7200 rpm.
kitamesume:
^ seriously? then i'd rather tear them apart and turn them into internal drives =D compact little beasts :p
Copperstone:
^ A lot of my friends have done that. They tore it open, removed their Optical drives on their laptops, and attached their external, to the optical drive SATA connecter.
Dhruv:
Curtailed my usage of hard disk to seed to 8 hrs a day....
Instead of using it for 16-18 hrs ... maybe it will help to keep it's health up
And i guess i'll buy WD My Book Essentials 3TB :D
