my hard drive apparently is fried, and no computer will read it, so is there a way to get my data off of it or is it completely worthless now?

there is a way - it depends on how much money the information is worth to you though

so whats the method

5/14/2007 12:13:04 PM

pay a disc recovery company - i'd try google maybe

5/14/2007 12:16:42 PM

is the data worth $x,xxx or $xx,xxx

if it isnt, just consider it gone

5/14/2007 12:18:27 PM

^,^^ yep

5/14/2007 3:16:55 PM

I've seen in the $xxx-$x,xxx range also. Depends on how the drive failed and whatnot. Not a cheap solution to the problem though that I know of.

alright well its definitely not worth hundreds or thousands of dollars. just inquiring

you can always try putting it in the freezer for awhile and then hooking it up. some people have been able to get drives to work again for a short time by doing this.

^yep, saw it work yesterday. drive was completely dead and we were able to get ~9gb off of it after it being in the freezer, i didn't think it would actually work
