Hi guys,
Well I dropped my portable Hitachi HDD containing some very imp data of mine.Currently it gives clicking noise and fails to be detected.
can anyone suggest me some ways to recover my data and also tell me how much it shall cost me.The total size of the data that i want to recover would be around 2-3GB.

Moreover It is currently under warranty so will going to data recovery agents void my warranty?

regards
Heat

Faced same situation with WD.
Drive was under warranty so replaced without any hassle.

I think if u contact the Hitachi people, they CAN recover ur data, but possibility of getting it back is very less. Though try.
