grr - hard drive crash
What is it with hard drives? This is the second HD/time that I've been setting up to do a backup of an external HD that it has died right as I've started. (I asume that the clicking noise is a fairly fatal death). Anyone got any emergency works-one-time recovery techniques?

Where odd audio errata, ephemeralities, and nonsense occasionally collide with actual music for serious contemplation. Trouble is - I'm not saying what is which.
Clicking is bad. The arm inside the enclosure is moving over the platters every time you hear a click, possibly scraping the platter and destroying drive sectors at the same time.Originally Posted by spinetingler
If you want to recover the data, you will have to have the drive worked on by a data recovery specialist. Do not try to use the drive any more, or it may become (more) damaged. Data recovery is expensive, usually requiring the disassembly of the drive in a clean room so that the platters may be removed and the data recovered.
I am literally close to throwing up.

What he said. I work with some people that do this as thier 'specialization' ... and some of these cats make some real cheese. It is not cheap.
Hence why I have a G-RAID 3 set-up at the house.
Send me the contact info. It may be worth it - lot's of irreplacable stuff.
