so my external HD is done for, dropped it and now no work shows up...can anyone suggest a good/reliable company that can dig into this sucker and scoop out its precious innards? i heard some only charge you if they can retrieve something, that would be great cuz i dont want to pay a bunch and have them tell me its gone. thanks....

If they have to retrieve it physically, rather than just via software, you can be on the hook for hundreds, or even thousands.
Maybe try something like Spinrite first:

Mac or PC formatted?

try taking it out of its enclosure and popping it in as an internal harddrive. I've save 3 now because i dropped them or whatever but as it turns out the power supply just burnt out. Most times you can plug it in as an extra internal harddrive and it will work great.

I've had success with FileScavenger
Buy an external USB hard drive case, drop it in, run the program and viola! Has worked on 2 dead drives (100% success so far)
