Hi:

I am trying to find information on how to recover data from a nearly-dead
HD. e.g. The HD spins and makes clicking noises.

What I'd like to do is to find out how I can extract data from it. Yes, I
am
aware there are specialists out there who can recover data, but I want to
know how to do it myself.

TIA


You might try hooking it as a "slave" to a working computer. You might be
able to access it.
