Someone who can pull data off of a hard drive.
I finally pulled it out of the case (it's a Seagate FreeAgent Desktop) today, and I've determined that the HD itself is either seized, or the PCB controlling the HD won't let it spin up. Anyways, I have photos from the last 5-6 years, projects, papers, some music, and all of my graphics stuff on here. I NEED this data off of the drive, as some of this data makes up part of my portfolio for getting into a design program at PSU, and I can't afford to drop 1-1.5k on data extraction services. If anyone can give me a hand, please, help me out.

Yeah, I know.
This is all stuff I backed up off of my laptop before I reformatted, and never put back on.  Anyways, one of the options you gave me won't work. I've got a mechanical problem, rather than a software problem. The HD won't spin up. And I tried freezing it, to no avail.

North Wales.
I've got one last trick up my sleeve before I give up, I just need to find an identical HD to pull a circuitboard off of.

That is a good trick. It works if the board is identical... Had to do it a few times...
