Well my hard drive been making a LOUD clicking noise yesterday and i notice this when i woke up. soo i'm guessing for atleast an hour of making the clicking noise. so i'm guessing it failed. It's a Hitachi and the warranty i think is expired.



is there anyway i get try and retrive my DATA?
is there a company that retrieve data from failed harddrive that isn't expensive?
lol umm does geek squad retrieve data?
Also i heard there this one way to retrieve data but it's temporary. you put the harddrive into the freezer in a air tight zip lock bag for about 30+ min and you could boot it up for a short amount of time before it dies on you. Has anyone tried doing that?

Games I got working so far:
Dragonballz Budakai Tenkaichi
Way of the samurai 2
Gran Turismo 4 (Thanks to Alkohol)
Tekken 5
Street Fighter 15th Anniversary Collection
Dragonballz 3 Budakai : voice still out of sync :(
Resident Evil 4
Auto Modellista
Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater
SM Nocturne

Games I'm Currently working:
Digital Devil Saga 1&2
Dragonballz 3 budakai : my first can still play but i want to get the audio sync.
Socom3
Fifa Street
