When a fried drive needs restraint

When a fried drive needs restraint · Proposed air date:

Arthur asks which software might recover a fried hard drive. Dr. Dave first separates a noisy drive from a quiet logical failure: if it makes noise, do nothing and send it out; if it remains readable, a careful tool may help, but uncertainty is itself a warning because the wrong action can make the loss much worse.
