Last night, a transformer on a power pole near my apartment exploded and brought down power for most of the city I live in. I didn't lose any power, but I did experience a brown-out where the power fluctuated for a bit. I immediately went into the computer room to shut down my computers, but I was too late. I'm pretty sure my hard drive is fried...maybe the entire computer is. I'm not too worried, because I'm insured. However, I have everything on the drive that got fried. Years of Poser related items. I tried to hook it up to my second computer as a slave, but nothing happens. It won't even boot. When I remove the damaged drive, the second PC works fine. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to recover my data? Is it even possible? Any help is greatly appreciated!
