I just got off a call from the hard drive recovery company that I talked about last week.
THEY RECOVERED MY HARD DRIVE
We walked through some of the directories to make sure that the information was indeed there... and it was!
The photos.. the documents.. the tax info...
The data is being copied-off to a MyBook external hard drive. I should have it Friday or Monday.
They hold onto the failed hard drive (or "troubled" hard drive, as it was called) for 10 days, after which it goes into a destruction program. I have about 48 hours for the copied data to still be spinning on their servers if there's an issue. After that, they have to go back after the original drive. They also are supplying a stack of DVDs that they're going to pull off selected data onto (just in case the drive has issues during shipping), so they're going to grab as much of the photos as they can.
You know how happy I am? I am dancing in my cubicle!!!! Thank God there is hardly anybody in the office today...
