well I hooked it up to my home computer for shits n giggles, then scanned the other hard drives for changes. It see's the hard drive but fails to install drivers? Suggestions..............
|
How is the drive recognized in the BIOS ?
With the right name or with weird or random characters ? |
when you click on it does it say you are not authorized to access the drive?

Well, the computer never gets a chance to see it. I hooked it up in the other room so I could listen to it, it tries to spin up a couple times then fades out so I assume like the video the bearing is gone. I may open it up and try to re seat the pickup in the off ramp. @Maadawg, It never see's it, in the video I linked to on the other page It shows dude working on the same HDD. Reason I thought it was a SSD was cause it's2.5 inch, so I just assumed(didn't know the made regular Hdd'S in the 2.5 size)..........In that video he heats up the bearing long enough to pull the data off the drives. |
Could you take a video of it so we can hear the noises the drive makes ?
It could be a PCB malfunction as well ( and if it's that, you're pretty lucky, since finding the same PCB from another HDD and swapping it in will allow you to get all the data ) |

Sounds like its trying to spin up then re starts.......... |

Bad PCB doesn't mean that you won't get spin-up. Bad PCB can cause all kinds of stuff... ticking/clicking... spin up... spin down... spin up again loops, spin up and stall, incorrectly recognized HDD name, lost partition, etc etc. What you're describing sounds more like PCB issue ( and that's a good thing ). If I were you, I'd look for another HDD ( same model ) and swap PCBs ;) |

I understand, if I do get the PCB it is out of my own pocket(can get one cheap). Plus if its not the PCB I can still open it up after the fact.:thumbsup: I think I can get one under ten bucks on flee bay. |
I got it,
I'll post some picture's latter, the pick up was stuck on the platter. I used a pick and spun the platter counter clock wise as I pulled the pick up towards the edge(into parking spot). Powered right up, I'm now backing up all photo on a extra hard drive. Thanks all for the help suggestions!!!!:Hi: Again I'll post some photo's of the hard drive and insides soon |

Some photo's of the drive, I just finished pulling everything off it and it died again! :blink:
as you can see the drive was full, and the pick up stuck on the platter. I tore it up to get inside it....................:laughing: |
