If this drive is giving errors, you might try sticking it in a plastic bag and putting it in the freezer for a couple of hours. It may give you some life out of a dying drive. I used this method on an old drive (this was back around 2000 or so), and was able to get enough life back in it to pull the data. Here is a lifehacker article from 2010 which documents it: http://lifehacker.com/5515337/save-a-failed-hard-drive-in-your-freezer-redux --b -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
