First, I wish I could have handled the paperwork and payment to send the hard drive off site by phone. I was out of town, and lost a week of time because I could not send the data on without being at the store in person. They claimed I needed to answer many questions about data that could only be done in person. I really didn't! Second, when my new hard drive was installed, the order of operations was screwed up requiring me to come back to the store 3 different times to figure it out. Third, after retrieving my broken hard drive from the store, I got several happy calls saying my hard drive was at the store and my data was recovered. This was not the case. Yes, there was an additional hard drive at the store with my name on it, but it wasn't mine. I had one at home with my name on it too. Very strange and upsetting. Why did I have two hard drives? Was my data actually somewhere? It left me feeling bad about the whole process.
