Hello,
Apparently my Dell computer contracted a nasty virus that has corrupted my hard drive (WD16000BEVE) and caused a "read disk" error. The computer will no longer turn on. I've taken the drive out and to a computer store in an attempt to retrieve vital financial files, only to be told that it is not possible WITHOUT sending it to an expensive data recovery company. Can anyone provide any potentially less expensive ways that I can recover the data?
