I came home last night to a weird noise coming from my hard drive. It had all my movies, music, and programs on it, all 200gb gone.
Im so pissed......
i'm guessing there isnt anyway to save anything?

those sounds make me say no, but you could try freezing it.
just leave it in the freezer in an airtight bag so no condensation occurs. after leaving it in there for a couple of hours, go ahead and plug it in.

freeze it?! how about trying less drastic measures first? download some good recovery software (the best will run thousands of dollars retail). i have a friend who had a maxtor external drive fail.. he recovered most of his data using downloaded software.
My friend from college might be able to recover it in linux.
yeah, sometimes mounting a drive from another OS and not booting from it directly can help you get some of the data off of it. try that first.
i'm actually freezing it right now, im gonna pop it in, in a few seconds
freezer trick didn't work..... :(
what about the stolen recovery software trick? find anything?
Hey for future info check out this stuff on data recovery and hard drives in general.
