[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1127656, member: 46727"] How is the drive formatted? (Probably FAT-32 if you can read it with your X-Box) If it's using FAT-32, you might try hooking it to a PC to see if it can be read and maybe you can copy your data off the drive at the same time. And I'll tell you the same thing I advise everyone about placing valuable photos on a hard drive without keeping a backup.... Hard drives fail. If you can get your data off that drive, burn those photos to DVDs where they'll be a lot safer. [/QUOTE]
