Hey guys,

I droped my external lacie 250 gig hd yesterday and no think im a bit stuffed. When it switches on it makes a horrible grinding noise and is not pciked up by windows. I get the plug and play sound but it just shows a a generic drive and wont let me do anything.

I know its probably a write off but is there anything i could try, as it has all my music etc on it.

Cheers

I tried bunging it in the freezer for 30 mins then plugged it in, no affect unfortunatly. Should i leave it in longer and let it warm up before i plug it in? any other wild suggestions , out a window then try it hehe?, or i gues home contents is next grr.

actually just had a thought, is it worth banging in an old 120 gig caviar i have, or is anything spcial needed to be done for it to work via the usb on the external box?
