Absolutely. Not to beat a dead drive here but what you need is a pro service that will physically disassemble the drive in a clean room environment, remove the platter(s) and place them in a functional controller/drive housing, read the data and dump out to some other storage. If the platters are physically damaged, some or all of the data won't be recoverable. Not cheap but if you really need what's on there then you can justify the cost.

Well - since I do live on Long Island - maybe I should throw it into the ocean and have a burial at Sea! Others suggested I bring it to Best Buy - and have a GEEK see if they can access it. From what people now wrote - seems that would be a waste of time! Agreed??? :-( -K- _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/DF1EEF11E586A64FB54A97F22A8BD044217A164D53@ACKBWDDQH1.artfact.local ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
