A couple of weeks ago, my fucking 250GB Seagate External HDD hit the shitbed. I then proceeded to rip it apart to fix it and find out that the thing is just fubared (crashes when it gets hot enough). Now, here I am, trying to extract stuff. Fortunately I'll be able to retain my Pictures and Music files but most importantly all my Carmela Bing porn :hyper
Also, big ups to Easy Recovery Professional. This shit is working like its advertised (the HDD is essentially being read without a file system, its currenly RAW). Good stuff

Blue: take the HDD, put it in plastic baggy, then surround it with ice while you do your work

Yeah, I've read about the Ice Trick. Fortunately I was able to grab a good amount of the data without having to do that. But to get the rest I'm going to try and keep it as cool as possible.
Backups? I hope so.
Nope :(
I've tested the stability of some of the files though and it works fine. I'm sure I'll run into a couple of bad one though. This'll teach me to rely on a single HDD for all of my data :lol. Fortunately I kept all my Photography RAW files on another HDD.
