Looking to get a crashed hard drive rebuilt...any info?
 

Does anyone know anything about this?

it's cheaper to buy a new one then get one rebuilt - now if your trying to recover the data then there are data recovery services out there but again very expencive

Re: Looking to get a crashed hard drive rebuilt...any info?
 

Are you able to recover any data at all? Does the HD still spin?
If it does, but too far gone for a xp or the like to read, the only way
I know with out taking the HD apart would be mount your crashed
drive onto a unix machine to extract the data.
Screw the drive back to back to a working drive and write the
kernel to access the data. It's not that hard
really if the data is important to you.

I say have a happy drive mount type of day =))

The drive doesn't spin. I already have a new hard drive and tried connecting the crashed drive as a secondary but it will not recognize the device. The hard drive just clicks. Sucks as there is information that I would like off this drive as well as I do not want to send it to Dell with every thing on there still.

What does data recovery cost? Any other ideas?

there are a ton of them out there -

I'd buy a new one if I were cause that thing's gonna cost you to get fixed.
