Hi guys,

Thanks for the advice. Yup, it has no power at all, the disk doesn't spin and no noise at all. Very odd indeed. I'll check up on the companies that you've listed on your reply.

allenb1963, I just might give a shot on the suggestion of "freezing" my hard drive. A colleague of mine tried that once on his defective hard drive that overheats which eventually lead to data loss. He was able to recover a considerable amount of data. I haven't consider doing before since the hard drive of my computer doesn't heat up but now that you've given me an idea, I might as well give it a try.

Thanks for the help, really appreciate it.
