Hey guys. i know this isnt a troubleshooting website. But i trust you guys for advice more than on other websites.
i recently went to Respawn LAN V12 (big aussie LAN convention). And packed my computer full of media. Somewhere along the way i used somebody's memory stick for a patch of RA3 for a comp, and of course i got a worm.
Long story short i reloaded to get rid of it. But now one of my non-OS Hard drives isnt working. Its a 1.5TB Seagate (ST31500341AS), and well basically after lots of investigating i figured out it had overheated somewhere along the way. (after running tests with the Seagate diagnostics tool).
The sum total of my access to the hard drive is that it:
- shows up in my computer
- if i wait for a minute or so, i can view most directories on the drive and if im patient i can navigate through folders.
- files can occasionally be opened. not very often though.
its almost a full drive, so it would be croppy if i had to backup onto my other 750 gig drive.
From the vast amount of experience that you guys have on XS. What would be the best way of saving the data, and if possible the hard drive too?
Thanks in advance guys.
