HDD crash |
|---|
| message from Garry Beattie on 1 Jun 2004 |
Hi guys.
Not quite a WinXP problem but I am hoping someone here can help.
My HDD crashed and took with it some very important data which I need to
recover.
The drive, when placed into a computer is dead. Dead to the point that it
locks up the computer.
It is a 40g Seagate drive. I have an identical drive to it as a spare and
was wondering if I could somehow remove the data disc's from the faulty
drive and insert them into the good drive?
I know I run the risk of losing both drives, however that is a risk I am
willing to take.
I believe it is the circuit board that has given out on my faulty drive, not
the data disc's themselves.
Perhaps I could swap circuit boards?
Any advice or idea's?????
Best regards

You have near zero chane of disassembling the disc and reassembling
the data platter(s) into the newer hard driver mechanism. They are
assembled in a protective atmosphere in super clean conditions. I
speck of dust on one of those platters might be likened to dropping a
house brick on an old 78 whilst its playing. If this data is
absolutely crucial and valuable then you need to contact a data
recovery company who specialise in such operations..do a google
