I emerge once every seventeen years...much like the cicada.

Almost four months later, I finally updated the main page.
Unfortunately, I don't even have the original recordings of these shows anymore, as my external hard drive recently crashed, which caused me to lose about 80 GB of pictures, documents (everything I wrote in college and graduate school, including my master's thesis), radio shows, and music. Does anyone have knowledge of how to recover data from a hard drive that my computer won't recognize (and that now makes a lot of noise when it's plugged in)? I haven't taken it to a professional yet, and I'm afraid of what it might cost...

Yikes. Thanks for the info. Looks like I'll need to at least talk to a professional to see if anything can be saved.

Take the hard drive out of the box and put it in the freezer for a day. Then put it back in and try it. This has worked for people I know. If you must use a program, he recommends SpinRite. It's a little pricey but he says it's the best. I just read it is an external drive. This will make it much easier. Last edited by Topaz; 12-30-2008 at 11:53 PM.. |

Thanks to Fifty Sixty and Topaz for the suggestions. I will try the freezer trick before calling someone about it. It's a little frustrating that this happened, so I've been mostly avoiding the whole thing until after the holidays.

Greg,
There is a program called 'Spinrite' that you can use to recover your data. If it doesn't work nothing will. I have used it many times in the past, and it has worked every time but once. I think it is around $60, but it is worth every penny if your data is important to you. http://www.grc.com/sr/spinrite.htm |

i though I heard of Alizée being on the radio recently. And someone did a rendition recently of Moi... Lolita on some tv show and they played a couple Alizée clips (in France).

i accidentally formatted the wrong HD one time and i used OO's format recovery software and was able to get most of my data back. just leave it alone until you run a recovery software on it, i ran few but OO's software was able to retrieve the most files and do it pretty quickly.
