[macosx-unix] Apple HFS recovery...

[Patrick Power]

If it's in bad enough shape that Tekserve can't help, then the drive  
most likely needs to be physically disassembled in a clean room and  
the data manually read from the platters in the drive. That's a  
pretty expensive process because it requires the clean room and  
specialized equipment. I haven't looked in a couple of years, but  
before that the best price I could find for that kind of service was  
approximately constant for a few years at about $700.

I wish I could recommend a particular company to do the recovery.  
I've never been able to afford to get it done when I needed it, so I  
don't have any good advice about which company to use. Good luck with  
it. I hope that either her drive isn't completely dead yet or if it  
is, that this kind of service is cheaper these days.
