 |
|
I received an email from someone called Moshe Valenci, who wrote :
| Quote: | i have a better dead-hard-drive recovery story.
i actually bought 4 disks on ebay, the 4th was the real experiment.
i actually removed the hard-disk head and put it in the new disk and it worked.
when i called the recovery service that offered me a fix for 800$, they could not believe it and offered me a job there - no thanks, i have one...  |
He has since uploaded a video to youtube - see it here : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9AoMeHRIPU
Most impressive Moshe! |

This movie is very bad. All of the safety points was avoided.
By following this video, users will risk loosing their data or decrease chances of recovery.

I have been in the DR business for years, and I agree with hddstudio...It is a joke...people are either 1. Trying to make money selling tools OR 2. Trying to show off=get recognized for something (perhaps anything).
Real pros are like doctors....everyone else is either a hobbyist (nothing wrong with that) or a quack.
EXPERIMENT FOR ALL TO TRY: Go out and buy yourself two identical drives...for a real challenge, choose Western Digital with heads attached to lid. Swap heads and/or platters. Once you are successful, then work on your important drive with data.
Good luck. Every trainee I have had has trashed dozens before succeeding, and even then, ruined subsequent drives due to peculiarities and differences...it really is NOT easy at all.
I spend hours showing people what to do, in a class 100 environment, and some just cannot do it. PERIOD.
Analogy: You can watch videos on opened-heart surgery or watch a musician play the guitar, but it doesn't mean you can do it. Certainly not without LOTS of practice and lots of skill and knowledge. Besides, DR is a multifaceted, multidisciplined field. You really have to have a working knowledge of many different things to do it well.
Good luck to all. |
