Harddrive Motor = Dead

[PinkFloyd]

My 160GB Seagate 'Cuda died last night. Think the motor is shot, drive won't even spin up.
So I've lost all the music and other stuff on it (was a backup drive)

Is there any possible way of recovering the data?
If it was possible to take it apart I might aswell give it a go.... the data is gone otherwise.....


I've checked its not the actual SATA power cable, as My other drives still work fine. Any idaes on a cheap fix? if not how expensive for Data Recovery?

for a physical disk recovery, £100+ probably £200+

Suddenly the idea of writing 50cds back onto a harddrive sounds quite exciting.

Will check all connections again, Looks like I will be making the most of Seagates 5 year warrantee.

thanks for the response though
