Yesterday evening I had one 250Gb SATA disk Maxtor MaXLine Plus II fail. |
| 2 |
The drive is formatted as ext3, single partition (sdc1), no RAID, used |
| 3 |
as an archive of divx movies, completely full with data. Motherboard is |
| 4 |
ASUS M2NPV-VM (Nvidia Nforce 430 chipset), I can easily mount it on an |
| 5 |
ASUS K8V SE (Via K8T800 chipset) if it helps. |

At boot the syslog shows (more or less): |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
I/O buffer read error: logical block 0 |
| 10 |
I/O buffer read error: logical block 1 |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
Any attempt to mount /dev/sdc1 results in tens of the above message |
| 13 |
(plus other details I don't remember right now) and finally fails. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
fdisk -l shows the partition table as it should be. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
It was late night so I gave up. Are there any chances to recover my data |
| 18 |
by e.g. specifying a different superblock (whatever that is)? Any links |
| 19 |
to help me? |

PS I bought the drive in 2005 and I've used it only to archive movies, |
| 26 |
so very little. It' the last Maxtor I buy (ok, also because it's Seagate |
| 27 |
now..) |
