IBM Deskstar 46.1GB
The drive powers up but only makes a clicking noise.
the normal whine of the drive is not present.
Bios does not see drive anymore.
HGST tech says the clicking is definitely a failed bearing.
Says it's "unrecoverable".
Suggestions?
Can the platters be safely removed and put in another drive?
any help is appreciated
regards,
Meat
