I think you're out of luck. Something I learnt a long time ago was that if it's important back it up, if it's not important back it up anyway as someone else will need it when it's gone........ <p>Dave Hamilton<br><a href=mailto:dhamilton@gio.com.au>dhamilton@gio.com.au</a><br><a href= > </a><br>
Does the HDD spin up?<br>If it does, does it make any strange noises?<br><br>Whatever, data recovery companies could at least attempt to get your data back, and many of them offer a free diagnosis. Depending where you are, you should be able to find one in your area.<br><br>MIke<br>
