My compture was burned when I plugged the power,
because the power supply was open when I did that.

Strong smoke came out.

The administor removed my harddrive to other
computer, but it was not recognized by the any
computer (3 computers were tried).

My questions are:
1. Has the darddrive been broken?
2. How can I get files from it?

Please help me! Thanks!

Looks like the circuts gone, as long as the disk
is not damaged assuming you didn't shake or drop
on the ground or something like, you can send it to some kind of
company  who can disassamble and resassamble for
you to recover the data. They usually charge you
in sky high. So if the data is not so important,
just forget it.

Thank you, DonCherry.

However, I am wondering why the harddriver can
not be recognized. Does this also mean that the
harddriver cannot be used again?

DonCherry

Usually yes, you no long can use it unless you
can swap the part. Say, you pull the disks from
the other dead hard driver and switch back to
the one electronically dead.

If the disk still under warranty, you can get
a new one from manufactuer. I got one back when
disk fried like yours.

My god, that is said that I lost all
my files!

I always think that harddriver will not
be broken so easily by this way!

Thank you DonCherry anyway!
