I opened the hdd without knowing that it is not advisable now i am considering to open it again but this i time i want to do it under the right environments and using suitable materials.
I would have taken the drive to a professional data recovery center but the ones in my beautiful country(zimbabwe)will punch a big hole in my shallow wallet.
I am thinking that i should use a plastic box in which i will punch holes in which i will stick my hands to conduct the operation inside the completely covered plastic box.Medical gloves will be stuck into the holes so that i can have them on when conducting the experiment.
I was on microsoft forums when i read that alchohol is a good choice to use for cleaning the plate together with a thin,clean cloth.
Please advise me on any measures i should take when doing this.Are they any changes i should make to the box and which materials can i use.
When i switch the drive on it make a clicking sound every second followed by a longer click in the same second.It is a 5v hatachi hdd 5k500 b-320.it has a 320gb capcity and spins at a rate of 5400rpm.it is a sata 3gb/s made in thailand and i have already violated the warranty.
I am not very worried about the contents because i can always get redownload the staff although saving both the drive and the staff will thrill me.
Please help
