I just heard from the company in Toronto and was informed that they can retrieve 15,000+ files from that hard drive that crashed because of the bad sector.
They sent me a list of all the files they can retrieve and everything I needed BADLY can be retrieved
.
So needless to say I am very, very happy. But it will take another two weeks before I will receive a new hard drive with all those files on it so I can hook it into my computer and copy the files I want from it.
I was sure sweating there for a while.
