Tools for data recovery experts

4.2. Use longer screws

While preparing the patient hard drive (

step 13.

), instead of using the screws

previously removed, use longer screws to mount the

platter holder

.

Longer screws (shown left on the picture) will ensure a tighter connection between

the platter holder and the platter carrier. These longer screws could be easily found in
Maxtor DiamondMax 9 and 10 hard drives – the ones holding the head connector in them.
