Well my hard drive been making a LOUD clicking noise yesterday and i notice this when i woke up. soo i'm guessing for atleast an hour of making the clicking noise. so i'm guessing it failed. It's a Hitachi and the warranty i think is expired. is there anyway i get try and retrive my DATA? is there a company that retrieve data from failed harddrive that isn't expensive? lol umm does geek squad retrieve data? Also i heard there this one way to retrieve data but it's temporary. you put the harddrive into the freezer in a air tight zip lock bag for about 30+ min and you could boot it up for a short amount of time before it dies on you. Has anyone tried doing that?
sounds like it's not booting at all, ddp. might as well throw him the solutions for a dead, unbootable drive first, then work back from there *awaits eagerly to read the master techie's advice*
tried it none of the computer i have can't access it, do you know a company that can recover data for a cheap price? or a method?
try this http://www.hitachigst.com/warranty/jsp/arma22h.jsp its drive fitness test just to be on the safe side that it is definalty a dead drive.
try the freezing tho might be more than 30 minutes. cost for a company to do it as a computer can't see the drive is about $350Can & up.
ddp, have u heard of that method before then, first time i have heard of it, sayuing that i am relity a newb.
i've heard of it & tried it on a toshiba laptop drive that crapped out on a customer & that method didn't work for that drive but might for another drive.
