HDD Data Recovery status a month+ later-email (Patreon)

Still in data recovery limbo since Oct/Nov.  As if art-block wasn't enough, missing a year n a half of textures/poses/props-figures-bg scenes/etc has really messed me up big time. I was told the read head replacement failed and they needed to try again last week.

⚠data still cannot be read...image attached.

Still being able to utilize what I had backed up from my old laptop hdd and my current C:/ drive files does help, like with my Hellboy/etc, but it is not a final solution.  It does not erase my art block and anxiety after spending $1,195 on a data recovery service that might not even be able to get my data back at the end of all this...

the next pack will still get done just please bear with me

thank you
