I dont know why this happened to me but it was the last thing I was ever expecting..........all of a sudden my hdd refuses to work...but the one good thing abt it is that my data is safe which is very important. It has pics of my gramps who passed away last year. Can anyone suggest what I should do looking at my mail to IBM?

Sir,
My IBM drive which was working perfectly until a few weeks back suddenly stopped working for reasons I do not know. The data on my drive is extremely important to me as it contains files pertaining to my business. Not only that it has family pictures which are invaluable to me. Currently I am residing in India due to business contraints. I again stress and point out that the data on my Hard Drive is very important. My HDD refuses to get detected for no reason. Like I mentioned earlier since the data is very important to me, I decided to send it to a local data recovery company here for the recovery of my data. The company got back to me saying that the drive's data is very much intact and there was no problem whatsoever with the media. They suggested that I get in touch with IBM and get the problem rectified since it was a minor one. The technical support guy said that a couple of ICs on the PCB of the hdd were damaged and said it was a minor problem. They said since the drive is in warranty please send it back to IBM. Now, what I would like to know is if my drive will be repaired or replaced? the data recovery company said most probably it will be repaired since it is a very minor problem. If it is repaired I have no problem whatsover since my data will be intact. But if it is replaced it will definetely be a major problem for me because like I said my data is very important. The data recovery firm also told me that recovery of data is not a problem at all and it can be done easily since there is no problem with the media. But they are sceptical because my drive is in warranty and they say that it is best to contact IBM on this situation which is why this mail is here. I sincerely await for advice on my current problem. Looking forward to a reply.
Thanking You
Raj
