My main hd whent down yesterday which was an ide one, I also had a 500gig sata drive connected which was the guts of my external drive (dont ask
). So I whent and bought a genuine 3 month old 500gig drive that was used in a server for £20 and installed OS (win 7) on it. Connected my original sata drive with all my back up files on and nothing, zero,zilch. Takes said drive to local shop and ask if they could hook it up just to see if it is recognised. No he said it is shot, it has power but shows no data
Not one for giving in easy it was a gentle tap around the drive with hammer :nuts::nuts: Plugged drive back in and bingo, transferred all my files over and whent and bought 3 more 500gig drives for £20 a pop.
So if you need your data recovered, send it in
