&gt; If getdataback couldn't do it, your best bet is to send it to a data recovery shop. &nbsp;There are other alternative programs, but my experience is that getdataback is by far one of the best<br />

I agree. It's going to cost a pretty penny (usually starts around $1000) to send the drive out to recover the data. In my personal opinion, with drives now pushing the 750GB mark you should try to buy a 2nd drive to mirror the data or buy 2 smaller drives and do the same. Once I hit 250GB drives I always bought the drive in at least sets of 2 for RAID1 or 3-5 Drives for RAID5.

I have a drive that shows up in Disk Management with no partition information, and will not show up in explorer obviously. &nbsp;There is information that I need off of this drive and am wondering if there is any way to recover that information besides sending to a data recovery place. &nbsp;I have used getdataback but the information retrieved is partially corrupted. &nbsp;Are there any suggestions on programs or techniques that may be able to help to recover the data?

Western Digital Drive that won't show up in explorer

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.
