Cost depends on the extent of work necessary to recover the disk.
Bear in mind that it may take time to recover your disk. If you do not purchase pre-formatted disks, it is necessary to format them before you are able to use them. A prompt will instruct you that your disk is not formatted and do you want to format it. Follow on-screen prompts, and be sure to select the proper capacity according to your disk type. Also be sure to keep the software upgraded.
