Date: Wed, 04 Aug 2004 14:15:32 +0200 Bad luck i think... i read some thing about a casemodder, he used a clean room and put some plexiglass on 40 GB drives. They died. Just the moment he took off the upper cap, the platters were being off-centered so much (really dense data) that it didn't work after the modding. That is, much read errors. You could of course try it, but hard luck i think. Or hire a professional data recovery company for $20,000 or so... How did it crash?
