Hi all.

Whilst building my new PC I accidentally (like a complete idiot) left the PSU plugged in, and whilst plugging in a molex into ah ard drive it sparked.....now the hard drive is completely dead. I cant believe I was so stupid, I was excited in having a new PC up and running and forgot I hadnt unplugged it that time (I NORMALLY ALWAYS DO IT).

Anyway, to cut a long story short, I've tried reconnecting this Hard Drive and no power goes to it. I have so many important files on there including hundreds of mp3s, stuff that I've bought off online mp3 stores which I would have to purchase again, not to mention personal files and pictures.

Its a Maxtor 250gb IDE Hard Drive.

Do you guys know of any good companies who would be able to recover the data for me and any idea how much it would cost?

Thanks.

Simon
