If you ever hand a computer back to any IT department be prepared for it to return minus some data. There is no way these guys have got the time to recover data and present it back to you under the terms of the original warranty. What if you've installed all sorts of software since you bought the machine and stored all sorts of files all over the place??? Dude, marry that girl of yours and have some kids. Then you'll have something to worry about! I’m with Sam. If you ever hand a computer back to any IT department be prepared for it to return minus some data.

Truth is, I did remove it temporarily to test it, had no luck, and replaced it carefully. They didn't contact me <b>at all</b> regarding the 'repair' process, and could so easily have emailed me.

I think you should at least take part of the blame here for assuming that they would contact you regarding replaced hardware. Then why didn’t you do that BEFORE you sent it off?

I'm more bothered by the complete lack of communication from them. Them keeping the hardware without asking is the main problem - I have friends who work at a data recovery company so could easily have got the data off. It’s not that good actually.

That's pretty damn good going if you ask me. And no you won't get to keep the broken hardware, the nearest you'll ever get to that is Dell will allow you to pay extra to be able to keep a faulty drive in the case of hardware failure, useful if you can't let the plans for your spy sat end up on ebay ;) 10 days?
