Did the drive crash?

It would be worth it to me to pull it out of the computer, pop it in an enclosure and attach it to another computer. You may be able to the browse the drive and retrieve the data yourself.

we need more info in order to help you....is the drive in a working computer...is it laying on your desk...did it stop on its own or did you add a new hard drive and set the old drive up as a slave

According to the comp shop the motherboard is is dead and the HDD wont spin up, but they recovered one of my wifes, urgent, homework docs off it and said the rest should be recoverable. I need My docs, pics and addresses.

Thanks again
