Hi all Wamuggers
On another mailing list I've read discussion about LaCie external HDDs
and their recent propensity to failing, all about the same time; a
strange coincidence. At least 8 had been killed within a week. Now
mine (my school's) appears to have gone toes - or firewire ports - up.
So what's the plot? 160Gb of backup data from our recently returned
off-lease iBooks suspended in limbo in a stylish aluminium case.
Have any Wamuggers experienced this?
Can they be repaired or data retrieved? Who can do this?
What is a recommended replacement device.
The question and answer needed Reg is :- Has the Bridge and Power
Supply gone toes up
or has the Hard Drive gone toes up ?
If it is only the first
then you should be able to put the hard drive into another Box to
retrieve the Data
Have fun
Bob
