Be Carefull.....

.......of your electronic data. I got off the phone with the service company for the 200GB external harddrive I use to edit video from. Its seems since the drive f*cked up, and its not my fault, there is still nothing I can do to recover 4 months of video editing other than pay $1000's for data recovery from a 3rd party. The next film(non-stunt) entitled FUEL was competely ready to be released and now this!!! So just a word to the wise, with computers nothing is ever a sure thing!

Sh*t like that always sucks!!!

Could you have put it on a cd?
I know it would have taken a few cd's but it would have been worth it.

Better yet get yourself a dvd burner

They charge by the hour.....170 GB---15 hours of uncompressed video---it takes some serious time to transfer those files!!!

Yates....man that sucks...very sorry to hear that. At work, we use these guys.... http://www.datarecoverygroup.com/ . They used to give free estimates on how much it would cost to recover the data and/or fix the drive. Might be worth looking into. I think the cheapest one we sent in was like $130.
