Damaged hard drive
Hello,
I have a what I believe to be a physically damaged hard drive with data on it. (My guess it is the heads). When I turn the drive on, one hears a knocking sound for about 30 seconds and then the drive automatically shuts off. The data on the drive is not important enough to pay a professional to fix it, and software recovery tools won't work. I would like to take the opportunity to open and try repairing the disk myself (as a learning process). Any suggestions / recommendations? Thanks, buddd |
