Hard disk cannot start after moving house.

If some beeping noises, most likely heads get stuck.

If data is important, can send for evaluation at professional data recovery centres. Most reputable centres offer free evaluation.

Can give me the link or name?
Perhaps can check with them.
If here not convenient, Pm perhaps?
Free check or something you say?

Yeah, most probably head problem. lol.

Yes, but things happen.
I know another friend. back up crashed.
Main one, going to transfer, need to buy extra hard disk next day.
Next day wake up, main one drop and crash.

For head stuck, most data recovery companies will tell you the heads are damaged with platter scratched and heads misaligned...and a lots of mumbo jumbo and charge you for the cost of a heads replacement, which may be around $2k.

I know only one company diagnose a head stuck as a head stuck and charge you a reasonable rate. It was below $1k for a 500GB disk.

Well, if below 1K still can consider....
But what if only need to read and transfer the data.
No need to repair the Hard disk.

this case how?
