All this talk of reviving dead hard drives inspired me
to make another attempt with my 60 gig FireWire
external, that quit on me a few months back.
Most of what was on it was backed up to CD's, but
there are few things that weren't. I would like to
find a way to recover them.
My drive has no problem spinning up, sounding like a
well-tuned jet turbine when it is running. When it's
time for it to kick in and start reading, however,
it just gives a few clicking noises and keeps on
spinning. The little green ready light LED does not
light up either.
I tried the freezer trick, and until it warmed up
again, it sounded like my old Ford pickup starting on
a below zero day. The clicks came, but it still
doesn't read, or show up on my desktop.
Does anyone have a home remedy for this?
Thanks,
Jon
