-- Posted by Anonymous at 8:59 pm on July 6, 2008 I have an external hard drive but my brother dropped it and I can't get into it anymore.  It still powers up, and starts spinning, but it stops after a few seconds. Is there a way to fix it, or at least get to the files on it? -- Posted by blufindr at 9:01 pm on July 6, 2008 why is this anon? take it to the shops.
