laptop Hard disk bent
I?ve got a hard disk that a user has "bent". i.e the top case has got a dint in it.
Tried powering it up with a USB adaptor I?ve got and there is a grinding noise.
I got the top case of hoping that when I did the disks could spin freely and I could at least get the data off. The disk worked for 2 minutes, making a grinding noise still but I wasn?t able to get all the data I need off it. When I look at the disk it looks bent but it also sounds like the motor is faulty as it just doesn?t get up to the right speed and keeps stopping.
If I was to take the disks out of this hard disk and put them in a similar laptop hard disk would this work?
Can I run the disk with just one of the two disks (i.e leaving the none bent one in the drive) to get half the data back?
Thanks for any help given!
