My idiot girlfriend (RAAAAAAAAAAGE) knocked my external HDD onto the floor (fell not even 12 inches onto carpet). Now it won't work at all, the LED turns on, I hear the goddamn click of death noise but it fails to boot up and doesn't show up on the computer... Google has told me 3 things:
1. I'm probably fucked.
2. Putting it in the freezer for a few hours MAY save my ass long enough to transfer some things over.
3. I can send it away to some place that will recover all the data but it will cost a shitload of money and there's no guarantee (not to mention 3.5 years of 4chan browsing, I am scared to even send it
).
Now I have accepted the drive is done, I will replace it, but if I could get it to read long enough I could quickly transfer over the pictures and documents that are important to me, and eventhough I'll lose close to 1TB of tv shows, movies and programs, I can replace that stuff...
SO WHAT DO I DO? Anyone have any solutions other than the ones I presented? I'd like to know before I stick my HDD in a freezer in a ziplock bag
Anyone who managed to save me will get 1 request of a picture of me doing pretty much anything. We can discuss it later
FUCKING PLEASE HELP ME BEFORE I BITE MY NUTSACK OFF AND FUCK THE WOUND WITH A RUSTY GARDEN HOE
