ATTAK Z Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 My little grand daughter (aged 5) was using my Mac a couple of weeks ago and managed to push it off the coffee table which ended up in me having to take it to Meadowhall to get it fixed Anyway £172.00 later it has come back today with a new Hard Drive so my question is: Is there any way I can get data (jpegs etc.) off the old defunct Hard Drive ?

BulletMagnet Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 If the hard drive has not sustained any physical damage then it might be possible to put it in an external drive caddy and extract the files. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neo Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 if the disc is physically damaged then you need to send it away for specialized treatment, don't know how much that might be ? i had a hard drive fail on me the other month, luckily i got all my pictures back and have now made a few backups on 2 hard drives, 1 NAS and a few dvds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My photos live on my laptop, NAS and online backup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
