If you haven't tried this, try the following: Jumper the drive to be a slave and then plug it into a working machine. Set it differently than it was placed in the computer; i.e., if the drive sat flat in the case, put it on its side. Fire up the computer and tap the case of the drive *very* lightly with the handle of a *non-magnetized* screwdriver. You may get it to spin enough to get the data off. After you're done, replace the drive with one that says *Seagate* on the cover-- Quantum/Maxtor hard drives suck.
