I am in Melbourne, so I can't help you with a data recovery expert in Syndey. Based my previous experience, investing in a second drive will be a lot cheaper. Any decent data recovery shop charges an absolute fortune for one simple reason, they know you are desperate to get the data back. Try msy.com.au for a cheap WD HDD and enclosure, it will be less than the "initial assessment" fee and you will have a new drive. btw spend the money on a Seagate if your budget allows for it :) Cheers Dave -- ubuntu-au mailing list ubuntu-au@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au
