I have a hard disc that cannot be detected. I need to recover data or have it fixed...

Do you guys know any place that can fix my hard disc or at least recover the data from it for cheap? The problem happened after many forced shutdowns. I already replaced my hard disc with a new one at Redington, but I need the data on the hard disc.

Jarir bookstore only fixes stuff it sells. So that doesn't include my laptop or hard disc.

Any suggestions?

So I was too busy to open the case, and do any of that... so I just sent it to Redington (the HP guys) to have it fixed. They didn't fix it, just replaced it, and charged me 400 Riyals. Thanks for the amazing advice guys, I should have come here first. Will go to Sofitel see if they can fix it, and if they do, I'll go to Redington and make sure someone's fired.

I had a similar problem with my hard disk this earlier year and took it to Sophitel for diagnosis. The disk was restored simply by changing the casing! And very cheaply too to my great relieve.
