If it makes you feel any better (and it won't), I had the same thing happen to me about a month ago with the 1 TB Lacie; they advised me to use the Data Rescue utility (http://www.prosoftengineering.com) which seems to be doing the trick as far as getting my data back, but I'm left with the unenviable job of backing up some 600 GB of data on DVD-R, 4 GB's at a time. You might download the trial version just to see if it'll work.

Once you've broken the seal you are fucked. Any dust is going to render the discs useless except as christmas ornaments. Disc drives have to be assembled in a clean room to avoid that problem. The data recovery places have to do the same thing. And if you've opened it, I don't know if they will honor the warrantee either. -----Original Message----- From: gel-sol(a)gel-sol.com [mailto:gel-sol@gel-sol.com] Sent: Monday, November 22, 2004 4:00 PM To: 0rb(a)bi11i.com; What were the skies like when you were young?

ot hard drive death
by Alan Evil 22 Nov '04

Just curious but can't you get that hard drive repaired and recover at least most of what was on it? That causes me some panicky feelings as I use two external hard drives extensively, and one of them holds all my works in progress. I copy songs back to my fast HD to work on them. I've gotten sloppy about backing up to cd-r as some of these new individual pieces are growing to upwards of a gig each. ____________________ www.psychicreform.com ____________________ "Be who you are... not what's cool." --Chef.

What I do (at work, and now at home) is to have two identical external hard drives, and copy all my backup stuff to each of them (essentially a poor mans mirror). That covers any mechanical problems, but not software or surge type events. When I fill them up, I keep one as an active copy, and store the extra drive as the backup.

RE: [Orb] ot hard drive death

This is DIY for a PC running XP or another MS OS. I assume the process is similar for other OS. You basically need to run an "error check" on the drive. On some systems its call scandisk or checkdisk. After that it will create a bunch of CHK files from the data that it recovered. The files might be hidden, so make sure to change the drive properties so hidden files are visible. They are usually placed in a oddly named folder. The vast majority of your data should still be there. The only problem is that it cannot recover the names of the files for you. The best you can do is run a utility that will sort out the file types and change the CHK extensions to the original like JPG or MP3. I basically had this happen to a huge drive full of thousands images for used for 2D and 3D work as well as some 3D models. The process became so tedious that I decided to save only the 3D models and most essential textures. If the pros can get the file names back it might be worth the money. Here's where I got the utilities to recover the file extensions http://www.ericphelps.com/uncheck/ "There is no greater joy than soaring high on the wings of your dreams, except maybe the joy of watching a dreamer who has nowhere to land but in the ocean of reality."
