My external drive stopped spinning. My computer won't even read that it's there. I hear this is common among Seagate externals. Some folks say this is the kiss of death and that all my work is gone. Others say there are tricks to get it working again, from running some sort of magic software to Emergency Repair Procedure #1... hit it. Still others say that it's possible to remove the drive from the case, hook it up to another case or a docking SATA port and get my information that way.
Looks great on paper, but there are so many different suggestions, it's confusing.
Is there anybody around here that's way smarter and much more informed than I am that can tell me which avenue to pursue? I'm fairly clueless, here.
