About 4 months ago I added a secondary hard drive to my computer. I had the power plug from the cd drive plugged into the secondary hard drive. Although the cd drive and the secondary hard drive couldn't both be plugged in at the same time everything was working fine until one day when I wanted to use the cd drive I disconnected the power plug from the hard drive while the computer was still on. Now when I reconnect the power plug to the secondary hard drive it doesn't spin it just starts to get really hot. Did I damage my secondary hard drive? Can the drive be repaired? Can the data be retrieved?
PLEASE HELP ME!!!
