Yesterday I needed to recover something, just when the hardware of the backup machine decided to eat the needed part of an archive. Anyway, you might want to try to get the drive running again with a swift turn around the vertical axle of the drive the moment it should spin up. It could be that it is just a bit stuck due to accumulated dust. Another thing you could try after this, is putting the disk in a closed plastic bag in the fridge (the one that doesn't go below zero C.) for a night. -- Humilis IT Services and Solutions http://www.humilis.net
