As you now have 2 identical threads in different forums...... momentus-5400-detected-azero-t16592.html
i opened the hard drive to adjust spindells.where do i get mhdd or victoria

That dosn't look good!

So if you want help you better start off by describing EXACTLY what you did. Stage by stage!
In answer to your last question.

where do i get mhdd or victoria

I would suggest to do the obvious!

If you moved even few mm. the platters, cylinder / 'index'/skew alignment is lost. At this point probably with 5'000 dollars you have chances, otherwise data is gone forever.

Adjusted the spindles?

This was a bad move.
