asked on

need an opinion on the best "pro's" to send my clicking drive to for data recovery work

I have a WD 250Gig HD that has the clicking noise and won't load anything. I have sent it in and paid 100.00 to "Ontrack data recovery" who sent it back saying absolutely nothing could be recovered. Knowing how data is written to the platters, I find this hard to believe. I don't believe they even took the platters out of the drive. I asked them via email what they did and the answer was "I believe we tried to read around the damage" what kind of answer is that? Has anyone else had bad experiences with that company in particular?
