| I have two "identical" 1.2GB Western Digital HDs and one has just died.
| I've talked to one professional data recovery company and they quoted me
| $1100-$1500 for the 1.2GB MS-DOS HD -- I think my data was valuable -- but
I

| around a half-dozen other computers around here and at work so I'm going
to

|
| I could possibly do a board transplant to see if the drive died because of
| the electronics or not and if it did, I could recover the data.
|
| I'm an aerospace engineer with EE & CS degrees with 30+ years experience
so
| electronics and repairing equipment is no real scary prospect, but I've
| never done this kind of work before and I was looking for some guidance as
| to whether it's
| a) unscrew + unplug, then reverse the procedure
| b) (a) + some minor unsoldering
| c) You'd better have your own factory and clean room
If you aren't going to crack the bubble, why would you need a clean room?
Most likely to be (a).
