I placed one working drive on top of another to get at a screw. The phone rang and I answered it about 10 minutes later I completed screwing the drives into their places. The screen was frozen. I rebooted and it never got into the OS as it said a file had been corrupted. I ran check disk and it told me that the c-drive was good. It would not complete a check disk on the d-drive as one or more files are corrupted. I had a local company come to my home as their advertisement said the do data recovery. A waste of money. The technician listened to what I said. Tried to boot it using my software and then he said the drive was not spinning. I told him that he had to be mistaken as I had successfully run chkdsk. He was not fazed. Although he pointed out a capacitor or a resistor on the drive and noted it had been damaged. It is on the left side of the drive about an inch and a half down from the bar code. He stated he could not do anything for me at that point and charged $75 for his service.

• Thanks again for your help. I appreciate the items you were able to save. I will definitely recommend your services to others--have a Blessed Day.

I had my computer for awhile and wanted to buy another one, so I bought another computer which is stronger and has a different CPU. I took out the hard drive of my old PC and tried to connect it to one of the new computer's power supplies on the inside, to put all the information from the old computer on the new one but it didn't work, because I think I did it wrong, when I took out the old hard drive out of the new one's power supply it was dead and it wasn't spinning on the inside...

• Thanks, I finally got a chance to look at the hard drive yesterday, I had to fix my tower first, I received it last week and everything looks good, as I haven't found any corrupted files... It seems the same as before, thanks
  for the great job! Raul R.
