Jul. 9th, 2008 04:03 pmHey folks!
it's time once again to use the internet brain trust. Some musician friends of mine are almost done recording their new album. it's taken them over 3 years to get it to the point that it's ready to be set free to the salivating masses.
unfortunately (dun dun duuunnnn), the hard drive that contained all of said music has failed. (yes, lesson learned about backing up the backup). they are desperate to get the data off the drive, but cannot seem to find anyone to do it for less than several thousand dollars. from what we can tell, they need a "static free room" to transfer the actual disks from the old hard drive to a new enclosure.
they have tried Best Buy/Geek Squad and Micro Center, but found the cost way to prohibitive.
I am recalling that somewhere out there, someone I know had it done for a LOT less. (only, I can't remember who!)
does anyone have any suggestions?
many thanks!
