For your Data Recovery GetDataBack offers a try before you buy that lets you know how successful it will be prior to you having to pay. http://www.runtime.org

I have had great success with them.

Rj: While I can operate a computer, I'm a novice at repairs. IT where I work suggested a Gateway when I wanted to replace my home Compaq. Less than 12 months after purchase, the motherboard needed to be replaced (warranty). Now, less than 12 months after that replacement, the repair shop is telling me the mobo needs replaced - again! He thinks the replacement was a re-built. He's also telling me the hardware will cost $280. plus installation & recovery and that I should just buy a new Dell tower. I was checking prices at Newegg and found your blog. I don't see new motherboards at Newegg costing that much...what do I need to know to buy the right replacement and can I remove/replace it myself? I also wonder, can I buy an external harddrive for my laptop and not even bother with the PC tower? Any advise would be helpful. Thanks, Nicone412
