If it does, there may be a chance of data recovery. <BR/><BR/>With Spinage:<BR/><BR/>If it is in an external case--(IDE drive?) can you try pulling it and dropping it in another pc as a secondary drive and see if it works?<BR/><BR/>If you get it into a 2nd pc, you might also be able to see if Linux can view the drive. I found some links to how (as long as the drive is recognized and spinning) you could take an image of the bad drive--errors and all--and then put that image on a good drive. Or, if you could get Linux to mount the drive, you could recover the file(s) directly to another drive and forgo the image method.<BR/><A HREF="http://blogs.chron.com/techblog/archives/2006/01/hard_drive_dead.html" REL="nofollow">http://blogs.chron.com/techblog/archives/2006/01/hard_drive_dead.html</A><BR/><A HREF="http://www.lifehacker.com/software/disk-recovery/why-you-need-a-linux-live-cd-136639.php" REL="nofollow">http://www.lifehacker.com/software/disk-recovery/why-you-need-a-linux-live-cd-136639.php</A><BR/><A HREF="http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20050302225659382" REL="nofollow">http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20050302225659382</A><BR/><BR/>If No Spinage?<BR/><BR/>If you are really brave--some users have had luck with locating an identical drive and then pulling out the controller board from the good one and replacing it on the bad one. <BR/><A HREF="http://www.deadharddrive.com/" REL="nofollow">http://www.deadharddrive.com/</A><BR/><A HREF="http://www.hackaday.com/entry/1234000840067578/" REL="nofollow">http://www.hackaday.com/entry/1234000840067578/</A><BR/><BR/>Finally, a "common" technique I have heard is to "freeze" the drive this might give enough shrinkage to the components to allow it to spin up again.<BR/><A HREF="http://www.meetmyattorney.com/slink/mt-archives/000275.html" REL="nofollow">http://www.meetmyattorney.com/slink/mt-archives/000275.html</A><BR/><A HREF="http://geeksaresexy.blogspot.com/2006/01/freeze-your-hard-drive-to-recover-data.html" REL="nofollow">http://geeksaresexy.blogspot.com/2006/01/freeze-your-hard-drive-to-recover-data.html</A><BR/><BR/>Google:<BR/><A HREF="http://www.google.com/search?q=dead+hard+drive+recovery" REL="nofollow">Google it!</A><BR/><BR/>Good luck, and holler if you need details!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
