Pulling the secondary drive out of the rack takes an unusual amount of
force. The crunchy bearings scratch on the rails as they get dragged
forward. After struggling for a bit, Jack finally reaches the point
where the top cover and the empty compartment for a removable platter
are fully exposed. He undoes the thumb screws holding them in place,
then he slides the assembly forward and takes it out, revealing the
circuit boards, motor, and spindle with fixed platters beneath. A fine
silver line along the edge in the otherwise brown coating of the top-most
platter shows where its upper
head had crashed &ndash; a deep scratch but, with a bit of luck, this
might still be recoverable. He undoes two more
thumb screws on the inside and the face plate of the drive comes off.
Using a small flashlight that he had found in one of the desk cabinets,
he inspects the three platters: The one on top turns out to be the
outlier, its underside and both of the other platters have thick
silver-y white stripes lining their edges.
