Hard drive recovery: How to recover lost data from hard drive and repair corrupted hard drive?
Apparently my Dell computer contracted a nasty virus that has corrupted my hard drive and caused a "read disk" error. The computer will no longer turn on. I've taken the drive out and to a computer store in an attempt to retrieve important financial files, only to be told that it is not possible without sending it to an expensive data recovery company. Can anyone provide any potentially less expensive ways that I can recover lost data from corrupted hard drive?
