One of my 500GB (out of 4) Seagate hard drives is not spinning up.. :(
Small chip on the controller board, which is believe is the driver
for the motor is heating up too much.
I have lot of data in that hard drive.. Any ideas from you guys?..
I tried the freezing technique (kept the hard drive in the freezer
for about 2 hrs and let it sit out side to come back to room temp,
hoping it will loosen the spindle, but no luck.)
I am getting a replacement drive, but I would love to get all
my data back..

Thanks guys..
