Hi. I have old Hdd.
It have important data from my school.
Recently, My friend borrowed it.
I didn't back up the data.
When he give it back, He opened it and it's broken.
I tested it.
The read/write head was fine.
The disc is dissasembled.
If i put it back together, can i get the data back?
Can it read the data if i put the platter into another hdd?
Thankyou.

But, If i clean it and dry it and put it back in or put the platter on another hdd, can it be read?

Oh. I forget telling him that i have important data. He is the weirdest student in my school. He ever spill water to my laptop. But i was really fortunate i close the lid.


No, that data is gone.

All you'd achieve doing that is to destroy another hard drive.

Thankyou.
I always think that my data is safe so i never do a back up.
Now i realize how foolish i'm not backing up my data.
