Hey folks,

I'm a newbie here and was hoping I could get some help recovering lost data. We were changing computer systems and in the process of trying to backup and copy the harddrive we smoked it...literally. I've never seen smoke come out of a HD until now.

I know there are many companies that can recover lost data but I would rather use a company that someone else has used and can refer me to. In addition, the information is important but I would like to keep the costs down to a minimum. I don't want to spend hundreds of dollars to recover this data.

If anyone has any experience with a company, could you please pass the information on to me. Thanks in advance for your help.
