Trying to transfer files from a HD

[akim1220]

My server will not boot up so I am trying to transfer the files from the HD of the server directly to my computer. The HD Is a Western Digital 2500JS. I connected it to an external HD case that connects via USB. When I connect it to my laptop, I do not see it. Any ideas on how to get my files?

It looks like your hard drive died.

I think so too. I am using a recovery software to see if I can at least get the files off of it. That program seems to find the HD.

does the hard drive feel like its spinning when you connect it to your computer?
