I accidentally dropped my External HDD and its now singing, dancing and complaining me for mishandling. It was the only HDD I was using for all backup purpose. Its got my daughter's priceless images and I can't imagine losing them. Wanted to know if you guys have any cost effective way to get the data back.
I also happen to have another 1 TB WD HDD which refused to work some time back and I had a lot of personal/professional data on that. But this time its far more serious than excel and ppt files, as the memory of my daughter's life that I cherished over the last 2 years are at stake. And I need to get them back by hook or crook.
So guys, please suggest what can be done. I think attaching the HDD and thinking it would work out of luck is not possible as the HDD is singing songs(making crackling sounds) when its connected to anything now. I am not sure if this can be fixed or not.
I am not mourning the loss of the HDD as there are 2 more 1 TB HDDs lying around and I was not using them. I am really concerned about the data that I will lose.
Looking forward for your valuable suggestions.
