Running SpinRite now, any other recomendations or other methods of rescue... The notebook is only 9 mo old. I bought the G/f a new one. Took the dead one, tryng to rescue it so I have a garage computer for r3v'in while 24v swappin. I will pop a new HD in, but I have 2400 pics on it.

I used "Get data back"
Its more for shit you accidentally deleted, but I think it can try to interface to a dead drive.
If the drive is really bad and you really want your stuff. Its about $800 to get it professionally recovered.
Expensive lesson to learn to backup ;)Rollin' with a GeistkuchenComment

Not sure how bad yours is, but mine would stop working once it got hot.Comment

Yep, freeze it. And stop playing with it - usually HD's will give you only a small window of time that they will let you get data off them.
As a last resort, sometimes wacking them works. (or at least it helped me cope)Originally posted by Matt-BComment

1) Try rotating the drive back and forth (not wacking it).
2) If you have access to a usb/ide bay, try connecting it to another computer as a secondary drive through usb.
3) try partition magic, it has restored several hd's for me.
As a longshot, try a software called casper xp, it clones drives, but the data will be accessible if it manages to clone it, you need a partition larger than the drive to copy it, you could do this with partition magic.
