[QUOTE="Eyelight, post: 344940, member: 24753"] I had a drive fail in one of our laptops last year. The work related files were on a regular backup plan, but some personal files were not. The drive would not spin, but loss was not worth the cost to send it in for recovery. Nothing to lose, so we pulled the drive apart, turned the disk by hand (yeah, I know, don't do this at home). Then used a recovery software to image the disk. The software then used the image to recover files, which it did remarkably well. Probably recovered 80-90% of the files from a frozen drive. [/QUOTE]
