• Take this hard drive to a commercial data recovery company.  Call Techs in a Sec (phone: 1-866-NYC-TECH ) for recommendations.

• Request Academic Technologies to inspect the hard drive to retrieve work-related files.   We will attempt to view and retrieve the files.  We can not retrieve personal music files, photographs.
