Oh my god. Finally purchased a hard drive enclosure for my spare laptop hard drive. No problem there.
Plugged my hard drive into the enclosure, installed it no problem. All going great. Put about 13gb of info onto the hard drive, all going great. Plugged it in tonight, and...BOOM! One very deep fried hard drive! I am not happy at all! Any ideas as to how I can get the info off the damn thing?
Cheers.

Umm I saw this movie that involved a time machine but I'm not sure if it was non-fiction or just made up.
LOL! Sorry dude, best bet is to take it to a computer place and see if they can weave there magic.
Waa?
Dont mind spending about a grand?
I know nothing, but could you take the actual hard disk out and put it in another drive?
Sounds like I'm on something I know, but why wont it work?
You have nothing to loose do you?

does it spin up, does it register in the bios...?
Aargh, photos!
If it has a funny smell, its gonna be really hard to fix
To every man upon this earth
Death cometh sooner or late
And how can a man die better
Than facing fearful odds
For the ashes of his fathers
And the temples of his Gods

actually nope, I blew the bearing in my old crappy one smelt abit pooie - managed to get it spinning long enough to get the data at a slow rate by overvolting it, if he has blown the controller board, he has the option of getting another controller board and plugging it into the drive as long as the controllers are the same it will work fine.Originally Posted by Sniper

Depending on how damaged the hard drive is you could try the following.
Leave it in the freezer ( in a bag ) overnight, then have another go in the morning.
Track down another hard drive of the same model, make, etc. Swap the damaged parts.
Have fun.

Doesn't spin at all...
Doesn't register at all, either being plugged into the enclosure, or directly into my laptop.

I think you now have to considere how much that data is worth to you. If it's less then 500$ then go kick the nabours cat, swear for a while and download that porn again.
If its worth more then 1000$ then have a look at on of these sites : http://datarecovery.co.nz http://www.dataclinic.co.nz/ or search google or yellowpages. In any case no harm in calling them and asking for a price.
Remember the heads on the disks are like concords flying 30cm of the ground so to them a speck of dust is like a house in the way. Opening the drive your self might rule out other options.
In anycase a frace regarding backups comes to mind :
Real men don't do backups............

Haha, its ironic, because this was my back up drive...it had ghost images of my current hard drive. back up the back up...I think you now have to considere how much that data is worth to you. If it's less then 500$ then go kick the nabours cat, swear for a while and download that porn again.
