Reviving A Dead Hard Drive The Hard Way

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the path-of-most-resistance dept.

An anonymous reader writes "This guy went to the trouble of swapping logic boards on a dead hard drive to get his NeverWinter Nights save games back and took photos." I would have just used a character editor to get my stuff back, but clearly, I lack the dedication this gentleman has. Regardless of reason, nice work!

    This is news? Wake me when he actually goes inside the drive to get it to spin-up. Anyone working in IT has probably done this at least once. But since this guy is a slack-jawed Windows home user he thought that this process was terribly clever. Clever enough to post a web page about it. Not news, move along.
