Data recovery for Macbook

[psylichon]

Hey guys...

My boss's hard drive died in his Macbook... it's under warranty, but he is interested in data recovery. The hard drive is just not spinning up.

Do any of you guys have any experience with mac data recovery services? Preferably something that doesn't cost an arm and a leg.

Thanks for any tips.

Here's a few links you should check out.

I recommend Data Rescue - I've used it on a completely dead PPC Mac and gotten everything back.

if the hard drive isn't functioning mechanically, then software isn't gonna help. All i really know about is our service from work which can cost anywhere between $200-$4000.

Hi,

If your HDD in under warranty then you should prefer replacement. If you want to recover data on your Macbook, use Stellar phoenix data recovery Mac software which will recover your data and demo version will show the preview of recovered data. Stellar information system also provides a good data recovery services. You can try them...

his hard disk is not spinning, so no mere software package can recover data from it. Only a service that can remove the platters manually will be able to retrieve anything.

Thanks for informing. I have already mentioned about data recovery services in my post.

didn't mean to impy that you didn't... just saying that software isn't really a viable option at this point.

Not an issue.

Have a wonderful day
