Thursday night I went to the store and agreed to have the hard drive replaced at an additional charge, which came to $118.00.

Answer: We are still running tests, but it looks like the hard drive has failed, so back up recovery was impossible.

I waited for call on Tuesday, but no one called.

At 8 pm I called and was told that they were still running diagnosis test.

On Monday I called again 7pm, couldnвЂ™t get through to the service department, the operator took down my information and told me to call back later.

Their answer was: your computer has not been looked at yet.

Sunday 2/05/07 10am, seven days later, I called to see what was wrong.

They told me we had вЂњThe Blue Screen of Death.вЂќД®stimated repair time seven to ten days. We had lost our Windows XP program and I wanted it to be repaired and recover the hard drive data. I took my Toshiba Satellite to Best Buy, Geek Squad to be repaired. would have been better off if heвЂ™d just offered his friend $250.00 if he could get the computer to work. WhatвЂ™s the moral of this story? It seems that despite the fact that Geek Squad bills itself as a friendly alternative to scary computer repair places whoвЂ™ll rip you off, theyвЂ™re not even as good as your friend at work.

I still lost $248.00 plus dollars, because of their repair contract. I received a $49.00 refund off the price of the $99.00 back up charge. He explained they should of told me about a disk recovery program, but the computer would have to be sent to a outside source for repairs. Sunday 2/25/07 Spoke with Allen, Geek Squad manager.

Naturally, Best Buy gave a full refund on the failed back-up procedure, right? Nope. Guess What !!! All the data on our вЂњun-workingвЂќ hard drive was recovered in about 20 minutes. Next we hooked the вЂњun-workingвЂќ hard drive to a computer with a LINIX system. We first hooked it up to a Windows system and the adapter hesitated, but it did run the hard drive. We used a IDE 2.0 IDE Adaptor, CD/DVD-ROM Combo/External, Plug & Play, High Speed / data transfer, 52x write speed, switching adapter input AC 90V-264V, USB unit. In about 15 minutes, he told me that the OS Windows system was corrupted BUT the hard drive was fine and the data could be recovered. We installed the вЂњun-workingвЂќ hard drive into another working laptop computer.

I took the вЂњun-workingвЂќ hard drive to a friend at work. $99.00 for the unsuccessful back-upвЂ¦Дisappointed that I had lost all of my data files, I started talking to other computer persons about this problem.

After all, Geek Squad had charged O. was given the sad news that his hard drive was fried and would need to be replaced for an extra charge of $118.00. On the 10th day the exhaustive tests were still being done, but things werenвЂ™t looking good for O.вЂ™s data files. After 8 days, theyвЂ™d begun testing the laptop. Seven days later, they hadnвЂ™t even looked at the machine.
