Ran into a problem with one of my harddrives. I had 2 harddrives taken out of my old computer so i can use my ide to usb cable to access them and transfer the files. At first both of the hard drives would work, but then one of them stopped, and the other one still does. Whenever I plug in the working one i can hear the hard drive start up and spin and then i can access it, but when I plug in the second one i don't hear a thing but it does get hot. anyone know what happened because at first they both were working?

I took it to Altex (a computer shop) and they told me it could be anywhere from 300 to a grand to recover the data (if any) and am not about to pay that much.

To be honest, it just sounds like it died. You can look for recovery applications to try and recover the data from it. But I had a HD that similarly just stopped spinning and wouldn't be recognized by the PC and I had to reformat it.

Yeah that doesnt sound good. Only thing I can tell you is dont use it let it cool off. And try it later inside the computer. Also if its not spinning I dont think recovery programs would work on it.
