I posted here because its so hard to find forums, if anyone knows a good computer forum room please let me know.
OK so my bro keeps all his data, pictures and important info on 1 HHD in his laptop, he dropped his laptop and now the HHD doesn't work, i tried plugging the HHD into another PC but it cause the PC to freeze, i then tried to plug it in after the PC boots up but the disk drive is not being detected.
I opened up the HHD and the reading arm is broken but the disk is completely fine, what i wanted to ask is can i buy another one of the exact same HHD, and stick the disks from the broken HHD in the new HHD?
Edit: NVM after looking closer there are loads of small scratch marks so its dead, and can someone please please please! add a delete thread function.
