Is it possible to perform a data recovery on a hard drive that has been damaged by fire?

In: Windows, Hard Disk Drives [Edit categories]

Answer:

Yes, it is possible to recover and/or repair a hard drive that has been damaged by the likes of "Mother Nature" (i.e. floods, fires, etc.). It is best done by someone with experience, however, and recommended that one hire a professional company (such as "CBL Data Recovery Technologies, Inc., which has various bases around the U.S.) to provide/attempt this service.
