Comments on: My Tryst With Hard Drive Recovery http://www.greatpriceshere.com/2008/08/14/hard-drive-recovery/ Earn, Save, Spend... It's All About Money Wed, 08 Feb 2012 18:45:57 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Always Do This Yourself http://www.greatpriceshere.com/2008/08/14/hard-drive-recovery/comment-page-1/#comment-9732 Always Do This Yourself Mon, 12 Oct 2009 02:34:55 +0000 http://www.greatpriceshere.com/?p=90#comment-9732 Just wanted to point out, when your hard drive is down, do NOT take it somewhere else to get repaired. If you have a close, trustworthy friend, you can see about getting them to do it, but I myself used to work for Geek Squad and let me tell you, while I personally have morals and didn't engage in this myself, most of my coworkers really WERE just perverts who spent all those extra days they "need" to look at everyone's computer to scour their drives for amateur porn or revealing pictures of their customers. They seemed to get quite a thrill when an attractive woman walked in with computer problems, take her money to fix it, and then download her personal (usually nude) photos onto their usb thumbdrives. Of course, some of you may or may not do anything like this, but most younger people do take pictures of themselves and/or their partners in revealing poses or situations, so keep in mind that anything on your computer is open to finding to somewhat who knows what they're doing.

But dang....there is no way I would understand what they are talking about on that blog. I tried looking over it but they need need a "Step One for Stupid People" as a starting point for people like me! Thanks for the web site and the tips.

Did you try recovering the data? I know you had the original data, but maybe this could be a good experiment to see if the data recovery process actually works in such a situation. That’s awful.

I lost everything: pictures, music, videos. It was awful. Luckily I had it "backed up" on my actual computer, but it was stupid because the Maxtor was supposed to be the back up.
