Usually. Data recovery folks can rebuild it for $700.

I recommend using your back ups with a new HD and if the data was not backed up then you will indeed need the services of a data recovery expert. Good luck! |

Yes, it's failing. Stop using it and copy it over to a new HDD with Norton Ghost. Stick your HDD in the freezer for 10-15 minutes before you start copying.

I Hate HDDs failing. If I had a buck for every HDD that's failed over the years I'd have at least enough to get a keg of beer and a family sized pizza.
Good luck with it!

i thought so
at least everything is backed up i just lost a few emails that would have been nice to keep but 99.99% was backed up. i had bought a new laptop so i had copied all the files i wanted from one to the other. its still sucks. but that pc was on almost 24/7. i wonder if the new digital ones fail.

The clicking you are hearing is a really bad sign. Inside your hard drive is a similar setup to a Vinyl record turntable, but much smaller and with much more precision. The arm that holds the "needle" is either damaged or out of calibration or alignment and is not going where it's supposed to go. Each click is potentially damaging it further. It is unlikely that other software is going to allow you to read it, since you don't have a software problem you have a hardware malfunction, so unless its being caused by software AND the current damage is not too severe, software isn't going to fix it.
It's like your car is broken down and you think a different driver might be able to get it to run.

Yes, it does work. An electrical engineer taught me that trick. Again, it's just to keep the HDD working long enough to retrieve the data.

a) stop buying seagate drives
b) I've found in 90% of cases I've been able to get it to come up "just one more time" to copy shit off. Except in RAID and enterprise environments. |
