determining if a hard drive is truly dead
#7
Folks here are always so eager to declare a drive dead..... the freezer trick is for seized drives and wouldn't apply here...
If it's really spinning, and they're not describing other odd noises, it sounds like it might be OK- you'd need one of the specialized drive utilities (or that vintage) to reformat it. Not really worth the effort to track one down IMO.
