masive comp failure and i lost 90 percent of my unbacked up work. i am not sure what ll of that is yet as i havent' gotten the computer up and running yet.. big hd are expensive.. and well two giant sized hd went out.
so i will try to check back but if you can't reach me here in pm try emailing me as i can check email now thru anothe friend but it is too slow to do the forum unless i goto the library which is not always an option
love peace and chicken grease

Did they hit the ground pretty high, or did they just start clicking? Sometimes (usually if they just click after normal use) you can put them in the freezer, then take them out and remove as much data as possible before they go again.
Some people think it's a myth, but I was able to backup some files for a friend using this method - not sure what problem it fixes, but freeze it in a ziploc bag for a couple hours, then take it out and immediately hook it up as a slave drive to a working computer. Unless it needs to thaw, you might have about 20 minutes in which you can just pull everything off of there and hope the transfer rate is fast enough.
Results may vary :)

i've read that freezing thing. never tried it though. There's also one where you drop it then try to fire/back it up. Serious last ditch efforts, obviously lol.
