How to remove a Hard Drive
Our customers talk... From John A.
Samsung SP0802N disk 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.
After recovery: 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.

From Gilbert T.
Hitachi HTS726060M9AT00 laptop disk Cause of failure - Water spilled on the laptop while running. Shorted the HDD circuitry & motor. Drive dose not power-on or spin.
After recovery: Thanks for your hard work and especially the option of the disc re-image. That could prove to be the life saver.
Do not forget to remove the bracket and a connector bar from the hard drive, if they used on your model. Keep them for the new drive installation.
