[Cialug] Data Recovery

[jaybabel at mchsi.com]

Hi All,

Our nanny's computer hard drive stopped working.  She bought her system from Best Buy, including the warranty (no comments necessary on extended warranties as I suspect we're all in agreement).  Anyway, the Geek Squad will replace the hard drive for no additional charge but data recovery would be in the neighborhood of $300.  I had her bring the box by to see if I could pull the drive and install as a slave on one of my machines.  Turns out it's a SATA drive and all I have is IDE and SCSI.  The Geeks told her the drive was "domed"?  Does that mean a problem with the spindle and the drive won't spin up at all?  Any suggestions for her?
