Rogerio is going to hate us. :-) Don't *ever* try to do a drive recovery through a USB bridge: pull the drive out of the housing and hook it directly to a SATA port. You can't trust a random USB bridge chip to have enough commands to do everything you need to do during a recovery. I agree with cool, and you might find it worth freezing it, though you need to put it in a ziploc and press all the air out beforehand to avoid condensation. Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
