[QUOTE="Enigma_2k4, post: 46611, member: 631"] Ah, the dreaded HDD failure, I've been thru alot of those :( Get the maxtor equivalent of seatools from their website (or use seatools, I think it might work for maxtor drives). put it onto a flash drive and boot into it from startup, then try run all the tests and scans etc to try and recover as much as possible. But in all likelihood it's dead... As for the risk of using your PC as a digital source, it's an inherent risk we deal with everyday in the office, at home, etc. You can negate it by running a raid1 setup which isn't expensive at all, it just means you have 2 HDD's functioning as one. You could also just get a simple external HDD (they are cheap as chips), backup your files onto it and put it deep into a cupboard somewhere and then at least you are protected from Mr murphy and his terrible law ;) Mervin, a failed RAID is a terrible thing to have to deal with. That would irritate me immensly! I was actually looking into Network storage options this morning out of interest. I'd like to go that route myself. [/QUOTE]
