Hi folks... Once again I must mourn the death of a hard disk... this time a Maxtor External USB drive. However I would rather not mourn the loss of the data. Anyone have a quick, easy, very cheap suggestion for data recovery from a Maxtor IDE drive? It's a 200GB drive but probably no more than a few Gb of data. Never understand how a drive that has so little read/write activity and is sitting on a shelf so it is never bumped, would die so fast. (4 years?) I know that's typical duty cycle, but it runs in almost ideal condition. <sigh> I guess I need a small NAS RAID box, eh?
