Thanks for all your responses! ^_^ Even the clowns and Boobs' witticism. Well my second Genius Bar visit yielded nothing new. DW can't be used if the drive can't be found ;P. So I'm taking it to a place called Di-No in Pasadena tomorrow—my last attempt at diagnosing the issue. If Di-No can't do anything, i might* be shipping it to www.DriveSavers.com (which, apparently, is the company all the other company's in So. Cal. usually ship it to when they claim to do data recovery). Middle Men ha.
I just got off the phone with a DriveSavers guy mid-way through posting this and he gave me advice and pricing, with an edu-discount to boot!. To recover from my 80 gig could be anwhere from $428. to $1985. and $0. if they can't recover anything. Takes about a week. / Not sure if im gonna go through with it or not. Argg, putting a price on priceless shit is hard when you're kinda broke. Anyways, thanx again QBN. Oh, and that HD freezing technique is cool but nutzo! im too scared I'd void my AppleCare lol
