If you need to attempt to retrieve data off of that drive, put it in the
freezer for an hours or so and then take it out and see if it will work
again temporarily. You can google "freezing hard drive to retrieve
data" if you want to know more about this technique...

My laptop (ibm x31 winxpprosp3 pIVm1.4/2gb/120gb) sits most of the time on a
dock which, instead of the battery has a sled in the ultrabay with the old
40mb HDD which started making noise today and doesn't show on the
list.opened the bay and it's hot,hot. Is this the proverbial "end" of that?
If so, what capacity disk can I put in there (it's a pata 2.5)? I would use
it as backup storage.tia!
