Hi guys

Any recommendations for a data recovery service in the Sydney (or Central Coast) area?

My wife's 2.5" hard drive from her laptop has died. It doesn't sound 'broken' (not clicking or anything), but it won't boot.

I've pulled it out and connected it to a SATA/USB adapter, and while the drive letter does come up, no contents is displayed and Explorer just hangs. When I mount it in another laptop (as a slave drive) the laptop won't even boot when it's connected to the laptop.

I'm trying to recover photos off it for her. I've already put an old SSD in the laptop so she's up and running again but just want to get the data off.

Cheers
