Could be dead, could be disconnected. If dead, you can bring it back long enough to copy it's contents to another drive by holding it flat in the palm of your hand and slapping it's top. This will sometimes release "stiction" long enough to get it to give up its contents. Jeff G -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
