I have a 20GB Iomega Peerless HD. Iomega has determined that my file
system is corrupted and the disk is pretty much full of information.

It looks like I will have to turn to a data recovery service to extract
my data. Through research, they want between $800 - $1,500. Does
anyone have any suggestions? Please help!

Thanks,

Data recovery in my opinion is not worth the time nor effort unless you
have a extremely high value of whats on it. There is software you are
able to purchase but would take a pro to use. data recovery service is
a very pricy deal to go with. I recommend if the data isn't of extreme
importance to just format it and every now and then back up your
hardrive into a file onto a Perma-data (CD-r,dvd-r). It's not really
worth the money and there's no garuntee there is any data that can be
salvaged. Corrupt hardrives means that there are little segments of
data that werent fragged right it's not a clump some together it's a
scattered ammount of data most of the time.

As long as you are certain that the damage is logical, and that you
can prevent that anything is written to the disk, you as well can find
cheap or free data recovery programs. You will have to look very long
time for a case that these programs cannot solve, and an expensive
data recovery company can.
