Just last week I fixed an old HD by taking it apart and giving the head a nudge.
Beforehand it would not mount - Drive Setup could see the drive, but not the disk inside. Afterwards it worked fine!
Bit annoyed I hadn't tried this before on the many drives I've been through...
Opening any HD has a risk - there was nothing important on this HD so I didn't have to worry about doing any permanent damage.

The hard drive on my PM 5300 looks
like it has failed. Is there any truth
that freezing the drive might restore it or is it one of
those myths?
