The thing with Mr Hard Drive is that even if he dies, your data is still on his platter inside. The problem lies in the interface not being a viable system any longer due to failure of Mr Hard Drives's electronic stuff that allows you to access the data on the platter. It can be recovered but needs to go to a specialised company who dismantle the drive in a sterile environment and recover the data for you...at a price...here in Oz it starts at about 1200 buckeroonies and goes up from there. The exception to this is if friend Microsoft's NTFS (Not Too Freakin' Smart) filesystem becomes corrupt AND the hard drive dies...then you're up the creek, no paddle and in a barbed wire canoe.
