Hey, just one more thing to add Nick, how did the drive die? Did the platters physically crash, IE: did you hear clicking?
Because if only the head controller went you can get another hard drive of the same model and switch them out. I've been lucky a few times over the years using this method. Also as stated before me there are places you could send the drive to as well, but don't sleep on trying to do it yourself and perhaps save money. http://www.wikihow.com/Swap-a-Hard-Drive-Controller-Circuit Plenty of free info out there. -Mike Nick wrote: > Please, everyone backup your mod data to different hard drives.
