Would that do the trick?

Just out of curiosity, how will this help as opposed to hooking it up as a slave device? I'm willing to give it a shot, just wondering if it will make a difference.

That sounds reasonable, where I work, we use those things all the time and they work wonders. PWNED is right, you DO need to get some kind of recovery program. Typically, those will work great.

I'm not finding anything on Google for File Recovery Pro...never heard of it myself.

Apparently they changed the name...

Groovy. I'll give it a shot. Just placed an order with Newegg.

Word. It should at least spin up, otherwise you'll have to use Ontrack or something like that.
