Ok heres my story so you guys behave on this one ok??? lol Damn if I could only remember the top of my head to what model it is since it is sitting at home I will post it later if I can. Well I believe it is a Maxtor 120GB HD ata133. Long story short I left my Comp at my moms house so my sister can use. Well my other Sister has been using it too. (the other sister issue is personal so wont detail in). So my brother in law is pissed at my sister (about using PC) Plops open the side and unplugs the Damn HD while the System was power on! Ok what an idiot. What could be worse? My sister plug the damn HD back in while the SYSTEM WAS ON!! freaking aye! hahahah The drive could have still worked but apparently she shorted it out. Now I dont care about the 10,000 or so porn on it...LOL exagerating abit....But I would love to recover my music I have over Hmmm close to 8,000mp3? I have been ripping from hard to find CD my bestfriend came from the UK and he had all these damn music I could never find (Me being an EX DJ) was very excited so Would be so damn greatful if anyone can pull that off with there bag of tricks on getting all that off the drive I dont know how maybe repairing it or somehow getting it to semi function to pull off? If someone can do it great Ill pay ya But if its a hassle worth more then 100 bucks lol forget it hehehe maybe someone who isnt busy who wants a project you know what I mean? Help a poor man out :P So thats my story on this drive. SO This is a CURIOUS question so dont anyone jump on me LOL Can it be done? And please Dont ask me System specs since it doesnt have anything to do with it LOL
