Hi guys,
Recently I got a new chassis and after having moved all my components across one of my hard drives (not the drive running Windows) was constantly running at 100% without reading or writing any data. When I try to access the drive it freezes Windows explorer, which later crashes. I may have made the rookie error of putting a small magnet near the drive during the process of moving it across (I didn't know it was a magnet at the time lol) so I'm not sure if there is any chance of ever getting the drive running normally again? I don't mind losing the data, but I can't exactly afford to buy a new hard drive at the moment.
It's a Hitachi HHD. If any other information of my system or the drive is necessary I'll give what I can.
Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!
