is the info:

What you folks think? Can I fix it somehow? I got a good shovel handy just
in case.

Start doing backups before you write even 1 more email! ;;-)

Well, it was in my brothers winders rig. Winders couldn't do anything
but puke on the keyboard so I brought it down here and put it in my old
Linux rig. I mounted it ro and got the data off it FIRST THING. There
was a boatload of pictures from their camera. Anyway, the data seems to
be safe tho a few may have gotten messed up. I got to test that in a bit.
Is this terminal or can something be done to correct this? I did run
the dd command before I ran the selftest. I don't think it matters but
thought it wouldn't hurt either. If it is terminal, I'll get my
screwdriver out and see what these drives look like on the inside. The
last one I looked into was a old 14" thing many years ago. Platters
were about the size of 33 rpm records. lol Dang I'm old. O_O
