[QUOTE="GregR, post: 1608049, member: 321097"] Your drive *might* be OK. When an external HDD fails, it's one of two things: the drive itself, or the electronics in the housing. You could try removing the drive from its housing and placing it in another third-party housing and reconnecting it. Drive housings are cheap so it's worth checking. I recall a batch of Lacie drives some years ago that were plagued by housing failures. Give it a go. [/QUOTE]
