Hard Drive Disaster!!

If it wasn't for bad luck I wouldn't have any at all.
I purchased an IBM deskstar 60Gig Hard Drive specificly to back up critical data so I could format the existing hard drive.

I formated the new IBM in fat32 so I didnt have any permission problems. then I copied all the data over to the new drive, including a data base I have been working on for a year!
Well the clean install went fine then I hook up the new drive to transfer the data over. It won't spin up!!
In fact if you plug power to it from a computer that is already up and running it pulls the running hard drive down in that machine because there seems to be a dead short in the new drive.

Man what am I going to do?
Any suggestions would be taken seriously. I need to recover this data in the next 24 hours!

 

There are extremely expensive services that may be able to pull data off of dead drives. But the price may not make it worth it. And it surely wouldn't happen within 24 hours.

For the future, get a burner! My condolences to your data.

 

Fixed!!

Well, I went and bought another identical drive.
I removed the controller card on the drive and swapped with the new one. Presto!! It worked!

Thanks for your reply.
Kinda hard to burn 13 GB to cd ROM.
It was an Oricle Data base that was a pig!
