HD crash-NAC

[speedracer.mark at gmail.com]

One speck of dust getting launched from 10,000 RPM is enough to cause more damage... Let alone lots of airborne dust.  Add to that tools for platter and head alignment.  You can go for it, but without the tools and an actual clean room environment your chance of success is tiny.

I've never actually tried it, but it seems to me that if you were brave (and 
had a VERY clean workstation) you could install the platters from the failed 
drive into an identical model new drive. Insert disclaimer here. If that is 
not possible I'd love to hear why so I don't end up doing it someday.
