I have a hard drive on my pc and first the fan was being very loud i know its bad but i left it, after a while the pc randomly shut down for no reason and it got worst. I went out and see whats wrong with it and the hard drive is broke and i need all my files on it, how can i do this?
 
Solution
If I could plug a suspicious drive into another computer, I might get an idea of how bad it was PLUS, if it was at all functional, I'd copy off the needed files to that other computer.

If you need specific help on extracting drives, and how to connect a drive to another computer, you'd want to supply additional specific info.
