[QUOTE="chscag, post: 824750, member: 46727"] Sounds like the drive has quit. If it's formatted to FAT-32 you might try using one of the many free data recovery programs that are available for Windows. There are several for the Mac but they are expensive. Here's a link for Windows software: [URL="http://free-backup.info/data-recovery-software.htm"]Link[/URL] Note, however, if the drive will not mount (can't be seen by the PC) then no data recovery software is going to work. You'll need something that can access the drive on a low level and perhaps extract the data. You might try: Gibson Research "Spinrite" [URL="http://www.grc.com/sr/spinrite.htm"]Link[/URL] The only other alternative is a professional data recovery service which is very expensive to use. Regards. [/QUOTE]
