In joining in with the silly season spirit I have managed to damage an External 120GB Firewire Drive, by plugging in a 16V power brick instead of it's usual 12V one. (In my defence they do look identical!)
With the proper 12V power brick plugged in, I get a red light warning but I am unable to mount the drive on the iBook desktop. When I 'hotplug' the firewire cable into the iBook the drives light changes to purple/blue. Any ideas on how I can determine if there is any data still on the drive? What is the likelihood of recovering any data after such a power surge? Any tips welcome. Thanks, Paul
