|   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 – 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. | ||||
