Re: dead HD

My 60GB not very old HD started whirring this morning and, bottom line, the computer no longer 
recognizes it. TechTool doesn't see it, either. I've been trying everything, and once or twice it opened 
up on restart and I was able to drag some files to a Compact Flash card, but when I tried to burn files 
to CD, halfway through it started grinding and stopped burning.

Is there anything I can try? I had backed up crucial files a few days ago, but there's a lot of stuff on 
there I want.

Or can anyone recommend a retrieval company and how much does it cost?
Thanks,
Willi

 

Get a copy of DiskWarrior 3.0 and try to boot from it...Run it and see 
if that helps...It has saved me more times than I care to remember..
