I'm attempting to recover a hard drive, which may or may not be possible. It shows up in the BIOS, and in Windows Drive Management, but unloaded and cannot be loaded due to CRC failure. I tried mounting it in Linux, but it does not appear in 'dev' but will appear in both mnt and media, but as an empty folder. Finally, I tried using SpinRite, but it just stays on the "Discovering mass storage hardware" screen, as I assume it cannot find the drive.
I even went as far as trying the freeze trick, but alas, I am here. Any advice is appreciated.
If the drive isn't spinning up (which is why SpinRite isn't seeing it), you're probably SOL. – None – 2011-07-18T21:42:35.900
