How can I retrieve hard drive model info from a dead drive
Hello...I think my hard drive died last night. Startup disk disk utility doesn't see it, other booting options have failed. Need a recommendation please on a dependable replacement hard drive that is reasonably priced. Will try disk warrior with assistance but am doubtful it will work. Thank you!
Is this a good question?

Can you post your model info or the last three digits of your serial number so we can better help you. Can you also tell us what size your iBook currently had and what you are looking for if you have any ideas.

One more question... Is there any way at all of extracting or migrating info caught on the old drive? Install disk utility won't even see it. I've read about enclosing it in an external drive case and connecting it to another computer in hopes it will be recognized. Any suggestions aside from data recovery services (the amount of unbacked up data is important but not worth that much). Thank you!
