Hello Gurus
I have recieved a Hitachi travelstar 1.8" 30.01GB HDD tha was used in a camcorder. The person dropped it and diaplayed no hdd message.
I removed the hdd and used datacompas and ZIF 2 IDE and deeply hoped it would spin up.
On power up it makes short very low noises- as if it should spin up but stops and tries again. It does not spin up.
Any tips on what i could try to temporarily revive the drive and copy the data off it? From experience, is a seized motor or stuck head.I have no experience with these babies.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
