•   Microsoft in WA:
         Successful recovery from dead notebook hard drive with NEW windows XP, "This is great.  Your handling of this issue has been outstanding and I plan to forward your reasonable cost quote and great service recommendation along to the group that is responsible for our outsourcing of data recovery services here at Microsoft."
   

• Hello,
   
  I received the new hard drive today with all of my data which I thought was lost forever (Six months of accounting data)!  I can't thank you enough and am so glad I contacted you.  I had tried two other data retrieval companies.  The first was unable to get my data and the second wanted to charge me $2200 to do it, but couldn't guarantee success.  I almost gave up and destroyed the hard drive.  I only wish I had gone to you first! 
   
  I highly recommend your company for fast, effective service at reasonable prices.  In my experience you are far and away the best!
   
  THANK YOU!
