Doesn't sound good. Just to throw my tuppence-worth of bad news into the |
| 6 |
mix, are your drives in USB enclosures? I really don't trust USB and |
| 7 |
hard drives, I'd guess maybe 80% of my drive failures have been that |
| 8 |
combination :-( |

I've currently got two drives, in USB caddies, that I want to try and |
| 11 |
salvage, and at some point soon I'll be buying an external eSATA adaptor |
| 12 |
- that does NOT enclose the drives to give free airflow. |

The other thing is, if you're having trouble reading the drive, could it |
| 15 |
be the USB bus that's playing up? Again, I'm very wary of large amounts |
| 16 |
of data over USB, it just doesn't seem to work for me. |
