Begin as usual by unscrewing everything and ripping it apart. Shown here is a state of the art 200mb harddisk. You see that little set of wires coming out of the spindle motor? You will need to unplug those from the controller board before you can fully pry the harddisk apart. Actually wait... this is a stupid mod so its not going to work anway. Just rip it in half with a chainsaw or something.
Quick! The harddisk doesn't have much time left
to live! Connect it to the power supply NOW!
Once you get a stable heartbeat, stick some pieces
of wire in the spindle motor's power plug to extend the main artery.
A harddisk uses carefully generated feedback signals
from the motors to precisely regulate the platter rotation speeds. This
ensures reliable data transfers over a long period of time.
But overclockers don't give a crap about that
sort of stuff, so just hook up the 12v line of your pc through a transformer
or two and jam the 1.21 gigawatts of power generated straight to the motor!
Now turn everything on, and your harddisk should be roaring like a McLaren F1!

Wow it's a good thing I didn't remove this sticker otherwise I could have voided my warranty!
