Everyone treats HD recovery like its the Matrix. Download a few articles into your brain and your an instant professional... :roll:

Guessing at the failure works about 1% of the time....

I am in no way a professional and i never state that, but i like to learn and like any professional before been one they learn study and practice a lot.

And is not like I have national security documents in there, so if they are gone they are gone if not I would be happy to learn something new and have my data back.

your lesson should be to remember to back up not how to repair hard drives. If getting the data back will make you happy, pay a pro to recover it. Happiness somestimes costs.

Also if you want to learn pay the university or training fee. This costs, too.

Some of us did start as electronics hobbyists though. It didn't take much to get into low level stuff on old XT MFM drives. You could build your own equipment for those, amps, filters, and the like.
