So, it seems Yahoo! Photos has shut down, and we lost all our pics from the web Ohio NECO website. Anyone have any saved? I did, but they were on my external hard drive, which fell off my bed and broke last year. We must rebuild!

And I quote:
"Since June 2007, we provided Yahoo! Photos users several options to move their photos. "
Yea, they may have given you several options, but they never sent out an email notice to the users so they knew to look into those options.
Sorry guys, I don't look at the photos page and thus never saw it was shutting down. Maybe after James gets a little older and needs a little less constant attention I will be able to REALLY update our website.

I'd be happy to at least keep the calendar and events up to date until you've got more time to devote to the site.

I might have some of the photos but most of them i lost in my old hard drive that dan has. Or had, depending on if he threw it out yet or not.

Actually I meant to tell you that I found another matching hard drive with a good circuit board, but no luck on recovering the data. Although I honestly don't recall if I still have the drive at this point or if I destroyed as a means to vent my anger. Either way as it turns out it was a lost cause years ago, sorry.

Dan, do you think you might be able to get the data off my old hard drive? Or atleast try possibly? Or is it all pretty much completely gone if the hard drive stops working?

That's fine. I figured it was a lost cause. But thanks for giving it a shot anyways.

Almost all of your data would be recoverable if you had the $$ for the recovery process.
Otherwise, depends on why the drive stopped working. Head crash? Electronic failure? Etc.

Reason: fell off my bed lol. Now there is this weird ticking/ball bouncing sound when I turn it on...

If its ticking like a clock it beyond my ability to recover the data, there are extremely rare exceptions to that, and I can give it a try but its not likely that I will be able to recover your porn... I mean data. If its really important data a company like Disk Doctors can recover that data for about $2k-5k.
I have this one complete ass hat for a client, and their baby spilled water all over their laptop which had all of their photos on it for the past 5 years, including the kids birth. I laughed my ass off when they had to pay $3k to have the data recovered from the drive. It serves them right, they are total dickheads.

I know a guy who said sticking the drive in the freezer when it's ticking (for about an hour) allows some time to recover the data.
I've had a drive crash on me, but was able to use a program called NTFS backitup, iirc. However, the drive was only ticking every so often. It wasn't fully out yet.

There was nothing I can't live without on there. Just a few thousand songs, all the seasons of Top Gear and Family Guy, about 20 movies, and a **** ton of pictures from highschool, college, cars, and photoshops. I'll try the freezer thing though!

Ouch. That's a lot of data.
Aaron. I've never tried it personally, but was told it CAN work. Though you only have so much time to transfer the data elsewhere. Something to do with keeping the heads in place... i dunno.
I have a few pictures at home... Columbus meet 2002, cougarfest 2003, and some other various meets inbetween.. Anyone want them?
pm me if interested

Let me take a stab at it first, once you have done the freezer trick the drive will definitely be unrecoverable, without disassembling and rebuilding the drive, and rebuilding the drive is only something a specialist can do. The condensation that will build up inside the drive after rapid freezing and then rapid heating from use will kill it. Freezing it is the absolute last thing you should try. Also the more things your try and the longer the drive is on and spinning the more likely the data will be permanently damaged.
