I need to get my Passport recovered ... have any of you ever had your pictures recovered? What company did you use...what are the questions I should be asking?

Tell me about your experiences...please.

I think I recovered some pictures (from a card) once using something from SanDisk. If you are sending it out for professional (expensive) recovery you might try DriveSavers -- they have a toll-free number so you should be able to talk to someone before spending anything.

I vaguely remember that tanguera had that problem, maybe contact her directly in case she does not read forums regularly.

If you are tech savvy, you can likely do data recovery using a Linux distro on a USB drive

Doing a search for data recovery services in your area turned up this. Some other hits as well, but these guys are local to you and are focused on data recovery. Discaimer: I have no experience with them.

DIY recovery is OUT - BC It has a USB port/board soldered to where the SATA port should be. Therefore normal recovery is off the list...

Has anyone used DataRecovery before? I got a list of 3rd party preferred recovery providers from WD. Their pricing is middle of the road and no cost if I decide it̢۪s to much to pay - they just ship it back.

Excellent - I̢۪ll call n talk to them (mostly gibberish with a good side of tears!!! Ya, that won̢۪t help - maybe me...not them). I̢۪m just not sure what questions I should be asking...

I didn̢۪t find any listings for any companies in Florida much less Orlando area!!!

Just tell 'em what make/model drive, and what happened/how it is behaving. Ask if they think that it will require opening the drive, or if they will try non-invasive methods first.
