Solve : Need Help! I think my hard drive is dead!?

1.	Solve : Need Help! I think my hard drive is dead!?
Answer» Quote from: GX1_Man on April 25, 2010, 09:04:53 AM I sure wouldn't buy a drive from them. Newegg.com will be much more reasonable. I would start by slaving this drive in a friend's computer to SEE if the files can be seen and if so copy them to that external. I would do this before running chkdsk or anything else which may damage what's on there. 1) While I agree retail outlets such as Newegg or Amazon may prove cheaper, there is noting WRONG with purchasing a DRIVER from Dell. 2) Running checkdisk will not damage anything. Well, I ended up buying a new computer, and the tech support/repair department at the store was able to transfer the files from my old hard drive onto an external drive for me--it was about a hair away from being completely dead. Thank you to EVERYONE who tried to help me figure out what the issue was on my own. I will DEFINITELY recommend the website to my friends.
