I have a disk drive that I stupidly wrecked by powercycling the 
box it was in: now all I get in a rhythmic "thud THUD" every 
couple of seconds when I put power to it. I know it can't be used, 
but can anyone offer me any hope that I could get any data off the 
platters at a recovery shop? Or are the platters likely to be 
damaged?
