Slightly dropped seagate external hard dri...




By BooKooGuru on Mar 16, 2008

" "
My seagate hard drive fell onto carpeted floor while running. It appeared to be ok for a few days, but now the blue light indicator seems to be going off and on instead of steady on, and my PC won't read that it is even plugged in. I have a huge amount of date that is on this drive. If I buy another HD, is it possible to transfer the data? I can't afford those high priced data recovery services. Please help me if you can. Thanks, Ramona (BooKooGuru)

-   I tripped on the wire that goes to the HDD and it fell to its side, now it gives a lound "spinning drum" noise and it is not detected by the PC. Is there a way to recover the files? Can you tell me the process in steps?-   praveenv83

-   I dropped mine pretty hard and now Windows XP will not recognize it. The blue light does not turn on either, but I think it may have stopped turning on a while ago... :'(-   cboirum

hey ramona, you can try a lot less recovery tool which you can download from here http://www.pcinspector.de/file_recovery/download.html

the thing is this is a DIY thing. so its not worth the trouble, just try it.
