I have a seagate 1tb hard drive with data that I would like to recover but no biggie if I can't. It clicks about 5 or 6 times when I plug it in using a USB adapter. My Winxp laptop and W7 desktop will not see the drive. A known working drive will come up instantly with the adapter so I know that works.
I have some unused 750 and 1.5 drives laying around that I was thinking of swapping the controller board with. Is there a possibly of this working long enough to get the data off? Or once it starts clicking it's internal and nothing left to do but send it in? I've tried the freezer trick and it worked for all the other drives I had problems with but didn't work this time.
