Ok my WD800UE crapped out on me so like a jack ass I through it in my home made clean room and opened it up but for some reason that eludes me at the moment and removed the top platter of the two.
I just found out about the servo thing and was wandering if the pc3000 and data extractor could read the data from the drive now that the top platter has been moved. I know the pc3000 is expensive but I'm one of those people that looks for an excuse to blow money on a new toy.
Thanks

No, once that platter was removed any chance of getting your data vanished.

A pro could do it. ( I know I can )
Not with PC3000 but other ways....

DataRecGuy:
You can recover from misaligned dual platters?
How?

No servo needed.
just realign the platters.
Sorry I can tell you more, my company would not like that.

This is bullshit.. Sorry, I call your bluff. If this was true, you would be a billionare as your new customer would be US-DHS. What is the point of such lies?

I did it one time, but I used a marker to mark a notch on the top platter and the bottom platter. Seems difficult to do without knowing the alignment.

If platters is misaligned it is impossible to restore it back to its orignal position .

I have also restored misalignment in for example an SP2014 drive...

A toshiba I have had some good luck with when platters have been removed and misaligned. Never with a WD though...
