So I've received news from ASUS that my hard-drive was replaced with a new one and it might be coming back with my laptop. If it isn't sent with it, I'm going to request it be sent immediately. I need that hard-drive back so I can extract the data (or some of it) from it and then burn it to a crisp.
I'm worried they might come up with the excuse "Oh we don't have it anymore hurr!"
If that happens, I'm suing. The hard-drive has very valuable personal information on it that could compromise me greatly if it falls into someone else's hands and they decide to get it extracted.
Well, that's just the worst-case scenario.
No, the worst-case scenario is that someone within the company is a douche bag and copies my entire hard-drive and claims it's broken after stealing all my data. With a company like ASUS, that's highly unlikely, though.
Anyway, when I get the hard-drive back (assuming I will), how will I go about restoring the information off of the hard-drive? It's a laptop hard-drive, so I don't really know how I would go about doing it unprofessionally like you could with just a normal HDD. Where could I go that will have professionals that will do this for me? And what price?
Any advice would be appreciated.
