    Looking to save some pics and music that was completely submerged for awhile. Would like to know how to procede.

    I probably wouldn't try to run the HDD in any machine. If (and I'm sure this is the case) any particles floated into the drive and are now on the platters, you heads will crash, and that will be very bad.

    I would recommend a data recover service. They aren't cheap but it's what I recommend.

    Thanks,

    I was hoping to pull the hard drive and connect it to another computer and then load to another drive. But if you think thats not an option I'll check out a data recover.

    Thank again

    It is an option, but if you can't afford to loose the data, then i definitaly wouldn't mess with it as its a tricky recovery job. I guess it all depends on what the data is worth to you. Heres some links
    http://www.ontrack.com/
    Even looks like they have some things specially for people people having issues caused by katrina.

    Is it a coincidence that things that cause havoc, disaster and loss are named after women?
