I posted this snippit, I'm asking for input from DR specialists to help me understand the whats and whys of an end-user doing the thing right before shipping HD to a DR company.
Long story short:
-- during a crisis, an end-user wants his/her Data (and/or OS) back
-- some data recovery folks recommend an end-user, in a crisis, assume imminent HD physical failure,
therefore they recommend the end-user operates as though one has only a couple of hours or part of a day -- those same folks recommend an end-user stop, breathe, wait for expert help and advice, do not throw several "software solution hope-fors" at the HD; because that:
-- often leads to a much harder, longer, more expensive, data recovery operations
Two tidbits from "first response":
what could be done by an end-user prior to doing "everything", and
Potentially right and proper things that could be done by an end-user in the midst of an OS and/or Data crisis depend largely upon things done by the end-user long before any such crisis.
My first attempt at a tiny while paper fell flat

I'm hoping to get an education from DR specialists before trying a tiny white paper again!
