    Where Are All The Good Laptop HDDs?

    I've searched everywhere and all the laptop HDDs that 500-750 all seem to be only 5400RPM and 8 MB Cache. I already bought a 500GB HDD for my laptop. I have a 750 GB external 3.5 inch that is 7200RPM. Why the laptop ones that are large in capacity are that way?

    Importat data lost must be recovered!!!!!!

    I had this happen before. And I hate to see that message. 50/50, you have to reformat but don't unless you know you have to. Are you sure your not running anything that is accessing the drive, like do you have anything that scans the drive for something, sectors etc?

    Buy an external hard drive case and put your HDD in there. You should be able to retrieve your files. Make sure that the external hard drive case is compatible with your HDD. You said your have an old Dell, you I would more then bet that your HDD is IDE instead of SATA.
