wanted- recomendation for data recovery person

Recommended Posts

I dropped my netbook and now it won't boot up. It was switched on at the time which is apparently worse. All I want to do is extract my files from it, but you probably only get one shot at it so I really want to find someone skilled, careful and experienced to do it! I did a search on the forum and messaged someone called Jaybee, or similar, but got no response so I wondered if anyone else had had this done successfully? I did ask in a couple of service centres in an indoor market and they said I had to leave my netbook with them for a couple of days, which I really don't want to do. Anyone who's dropped their laptop- did you have to leave it with the repair person, or was it a fairly quick operation so you could hang about until it was done? My files are important to me only, but still, I don't want anyone else looking at them!!
Thank you very much, r-c. I don't know what an optical drive is so will go & google it now. it does fire up, & says the files are loading, which fills me with false hope, because it then gives me a message that has absolutely no meaning to me whatsoever. My netbook doesn't have a cd drive tho, will i still be able to try the linus thing? Thanks again for taking the trouble to reply.

Ok, back already, no optical drive so that is more bad news for me, i

guess. But hopefully this will have helped somebody else who does (& has also thrown their laptop

on the floor :-(

R-c, if you have any more ideas feel free to throw them my way!

It's about time I updated this... A few guys pm'd me about this problem and I did my best to judge their characters from their pm's and decided to choose Kozan, who appeared to be a decent type of guy. He said he would be able to retrieve my data at my house, which was exactly what I wanted- except I wasn't living at my house anymore so he agreed to meet me at a caf? in South London of my choice and he tried to fix it there. He spent about 3 hours doing that while I looked anxiously on. He couldn't fix it the easy way, though, and he told me he would have to take it apart after all and he didn't think a cafe was the best place for that so he would have to take it away with him i.e. I would have to Trust him with it. That was really hard for me, I wouldn't trust the angel Gabrielle with my data but, having sat next to him for 3 hours he did seem like a nice person so I let him leave with my laptop. If we had been in my home he would have been happy to do it all there, and he did offer to do it in my new place but it was out of his work area so it would have cost me more. Anyway, he kept me updated with progress by texts and 2 hours later he had put all my data on a USB and another copy on a CD disc-an extra copy 'just in case' which was nice of him. It has taken me months to check what's there because the new thing I bought to replace the laptop doesn't have a USB port or a disc drive (!) but now I have and all but about 4 or 5 files out of a few hundred are there, so I think he did a really good job. The missing files are still ?kind of? there, in what he calls a ?ghost? form and he is going to have another go at recovering those for me.

So, I recommend him, and his prices are reasonable. But please don't suffer like me- back-up, back-up, back-up!!!

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
