Data Recovery

HDD has stopped working. I have opened a 2.5" drive (Samsung). I am moving the disks to an exact duplicate drive, just long enough to pull the data off and copy it to another drive. anyone know a trick to get the center screw out that holds the disks in place???

ahh .. I wouldnt move the disks. Odds are, that the motherboard of the drive is bad. If you have access to another exact drive, you can transfer the motherboard of the hdd over, it is easy.

I have done this many times.

If you have opened the case to expose the platters you are on a rocky road ! Change the PCB ! Its far safer !

If you opened it and you weren't in a cleanroom at the time, it's already too late,
