My hard drive died!!

It really does work. I had a pc when I had all the data from ultracash. That meant that I had a few thousand SSNs on the drive. The Dell repair guy came out with a nice new HD but wanted mine in replace of it. I called a data recovery place and was quoted over $5k for the job. I ended up taking the HD and slammed it on my carpet covered concrete floor and it worked long enough to transfer the data from that drive to the new one. I then let the dell guy have the empty drive.
