opinions after HDD failure
Hello
So I got my hard drive to be in a failure and misfunctioning mode
I tried everything and when attached it to external enclosure, I can see the drives C and D where C has windows 7 ultimate installed on and D is for data saving
none of the drives are opening, the C: says it needs format and D: says it is empty lol
Took it to a professional company and they said they can retrieve my data only in one case if I get them a similar hard drive with same specs which is seagate 500GB they will replace the board of the hdd, and possibility of having my files back is 90% ... and it will cost me 120$ and around 60$ for hard drive if found
what do u think guys"??
==============================
BTW: when attached it externally, I opend device mngr and could see that the drive is RAW
Do u think if I try to convert the drives from RAW to NTFS back, would it work and I get my files back? Using TestDisk ??
