| My 250gb Samsung external HD seems to have just quit working on me. It's only had a service record of about a year. And, it just had a 6 week vacation. Any advice on recovering the data? |

and ive heard that putting a busted drive in the freezer works also...no shit, look it up - only if its more head or arm failures or something though....be pretty classic if it gets you your data though. |

Now the thing isn't even being detected by my PC. It must be a USB issue with the device.
a wee bit later..................................................
freaky deaky.
It looks like it was a conflict between another USB device. I just bought a webcam/mic yesterday. I unplugged that and the drive works fine. Oddness.
