I think I am on a loser here, but I can ask. I recently bought a job lot of hard drives (old ones)expecting that there would at least be a few good'uns and of reasonable size because they were 'ex-equipment' and therefore were working. When I got them home I discovered that they were ex-MoD. This immediately suggests that they would be thoroughly wiped, and so they are - to the point where they are unusable. They appear to be in a good state physically -no missing labels or parts, but just click aimlessly on spin-up. Even the ones in caddies are the same. I think they have all been neatly stored and then exposed to a strong magnetic force - degaussed is it?
If this is so, is there ANY way I can recover them to a state of usability??
