<div dir="ltr"><div>ouch!<br><br></div>First trick I'd try before looking at "put the platter in a clean room recovery tool" is to find another drive just like (EXACT same model) it that works and swap controller boards. I have recovered a failed RAID5 array as 2 drives of the 3 died and I used the remaining working drive controller board to rescue all data from the dead two (only worked because i broke my rule of NEVER by all drives on the new array from the same maker and vender - for once it saved my tail).<br>

It spins up and then shuts down after a few seconds upon boot. Does anyone recommend a good drive recovery lab? I know someone on the list mentioned working for one. If you have positive personal experience, that would be terrific. If you have good word-of-mouth recommendations, that'd be good too. I tried SpinRite, but it didn't see the drive (it had already spun down by the time SpinRite started).<br>
