Re: Re: Hardly Hard Disks

["S. Hieber" <shieber@yahoo.com>]

Thre are some ways to retireve data even from a crahsed
disk, depending on how it's crashed. But our experience
here at the Port Authority is that the companies that do
this for a living generally haven't much better luck than
our in-house amateur-wizards.

If you'r lucky, only some of the system info on the disk
went bogie, can be restored, and the data retrieved.

Unfortunately, harddrives are mechanical devices, they all
fail, it's only a question of when. The rule of thumb is
that they quit when you can least afford the down time and
are least prepared -- they're kinda evil that way.
