Max,

Do not transfer the platters. If you want to get data off a dead drive, get an identical drive and transfer the Circuit Board off the back to the dead drive. Most of the time, this will bring the drive back to life. If that does not do it, then transfer the heads. (Very tricky operation and can easily damage both drives.)

Take Care,

Richard
