*sniff*

not haveing backed up, not having a surge protector, i pulled the wrong plug out and fried my hard drive. bios won't see it, so i've just had to buy a new one. nearly two years work, some bits are backed up (a few logic songs) but the vast majority aren't.

*sniff* *sniff*

so who are the people who retrieve data from hard drives then? how much does it cost?

eh?... how can you fry your harddrive like that?.. not possible surely?.. just pulling out the plug is like just shutting down without a proper shutdown sequence surely (i've done by accident enuff times as a newbie back in the day, and no worries)

sounds like you blew a component on the drive, the platters are prolly ok tho - yes it costs fucking packets to get data back from dead drives - sorry mate - hence my insistant advice on DT to buy a SMALL audio drive and use backup carts & a backup drive too.

yeah, but i never listen to advise, it's just too easy  

anyone reckon i can get the component board froma second hand identical drive, and just swap for the one i got? look easy, some screws and a litle snap on connection to the platters.

"it looks easy" - R.I.P.

thing is i wouldn't have to open it, the platters are encased, the board is screwed onto the outside, and connects through a snap on 4 wire connector.

haven't looked under the board though, might be more connections there.

just got another quote £85 within a week, feel a bit better now.

damn, 85+vat is only for a diagnosis, then more depending on what is wrong.

anyone had any experience of this? i don't want to fork out a 100 squids only for them to tell me it's gonna be another 500, unless i got it covered.

what do you reckon about all the cracked software? think they'd snitch?
