For some reason, PC inspector doesn't seem to like my Sandisk SDHC
cards. I've recovered data from the standard capacity and from the CF
cards I use with the *ist-D. It might be a problem with the reader, so
who knows.

I got back most of the stuff already, but nothing that I took in January...
good thing I got the photo submitted to the

2 gig cf card in the Pentax - Yes I knew I was reformatting, I jsut forgot
that I had the good stuff on that card.... and that was before the drive
crashed.
I'll accept crossed fingers... There is some goodnews about my photos but
I'll save that for another post
Good stuff, you mentioned before it worked after you left it
unplugged? Something that's not been considered yet is that the
external power supply could be on its way out? I have a 500GB
Freeagent drive of about the same vintage and it hasn't skipped a
beat, no errors and I regularly test it, I have a near new eternal
Iomega drive next to me and it's toast and I had a WD enterprise
server drive fail the other day. In other words it's a crapshoot, all
drives can fail, all you have to do is learn not to trust them! ;-) I
always have my data on two drives and when I get enough data to fill a
DVD I burn one of those off for safekeeping too, it's tedious but can
save you a great deal of heartache later. If you haven't shot on the
formatted card yet (or even if you have) there are a few programs that
you can run to recover files from it. I've got back deleted *istD
files from my old CF card a few times using
