Subject: [PLUG] Dead, unrecoverable Hard drive?
Argh - it looks like an 80 gig Maxtor I bought a few weeks has gone
belly up on me.
I was on my pc and I started hearing knocking coming from the hard
drive. Any action going to the disk hung. ctrl-alt-bksp pulled me down
to the shell and I saw the irq errors etc all over the place. I had to
switch off. Tried powering up and got the same knocking - Lilo never
makes it past "L".
Should I write off my data?
