[PB] PBG4 Hard Drive won't spin

[Michael Lamb]

Any suggestions on getting a dead drive to spin again just long enough  
to rescue data? (Symptom before dying: noisy change in RPM for slow to  
fast to slow, repeating; now it is silent and does not appear on the  
Desktop.)

I read that it is doable to remove the 60GB drive from my Dec 2002 PBG4  
1GHz (OS9 bootable) and put it into a FireWire/IDE case (such as  
http://www.transintl.com/store/category.cfm? 
Category=2517&Prod_ID=210&Filler=No#Prod210) but would that help? (In  
the [process I could perhaps access the innards and give them a little  
spin to loosen them?)
