I would be very grateful for advice.
I shall be brief;
Returned from holiday to find my 3TB Seagate Sata drive was not showing up on my pc (windows 10)
Drive C is an SSD and works fine so boots up etc.
My backups may be usable although my Outlook PST files may not be backed up properly.
I have ordered a new 4TB drive to arrive today and of course the easiest option would be to recover the data on my old drive.
I have opened the drive and it looks fine. The heads are not stuck on the disc.
On firing up it spins but then I get a crunching noise and it stops.
I am happy to continue life without Outlook and just use backups to restore all my docs and programs but any advice re data recovery would be useful, although I really do not want to spend hundreds of pounds for the pleasure.
Any suggestions??
