We recorded our wedding with a video recorder that took the little small dvd disks. but when we went to view it on the recorder, the screen said disk error. there was a prompt to repair the damage and we said yes but it said it couldnt repair the damage. we dont even have a clue how the thing could have been damaged to begin with. Does anyone know of an inexpensive data recovery service. we are hearing quotes of upwards of 0+.

I use my Apple iPod Shuffle as a memory stick. It was working fine yesterday. Today, it asks to be formatted. Last thing that I did systems-wise was Windows Update, Java update and a couple of reboots while the stick was plugged in.

Below is what Disk investigator shows. Maybe hidden sectors is a clue that the data is still there.

Hidden sectors: 294905205

Tried downloading "encopy", a data recovery software but when I click on the stick drive, it asks to be formatted. I can’t get in to attempt recovery.

Can someone provide a solution, please?
