Help me fix the HD and I'll share it on cloud


Computers are way above my pay grade... if it was a mechanical issue that's another story

There's some companies that do miracle work with old hard disks.
Expensive, but what's you're data worth to you?

If it's clicking it probably means the actuator is working. Could be the header. Or it could also be the actuator spinning the disks.
There's a bunch of data recovery companies out there. But they are expensive. If it's a mechanical failure I would suggest not fucking with it.

But recovery is expensive.

My old hard disk died. Once connected, it just does clicking noise and PC doesn't recognize it.
It contains some valuable stuff:
1. Old diablo2 trophy items, screenshots and messages between myself and my best diablo2 buddies.
2. Old saves for some games I like like Skyrim.
3. Homemade prom

What to do

Thanks


homemade prom is cool. Hope she knows she was/is a lucky lady
