I forget how this all began but I believe you said the bad drive was from a 1 TB Mercury Elite Pro external hard drive you bought from OWC about 1 1/2 years ago, correct? Since I've seen so many "oooooos" and "ahhhhhhhs" here about OWC supporting their products I suggest you at least talk to their support folk and see what, if anything, they will do for you about replacing the bad drive under (hopefully) warranty. If the drive is truly as dead as you describe then you probably can't get your data back, but you should at least get a replacement for it. The typical hard drive warranty I expect to get is 3 years. I assume that since you keep on buying more stuff from them you also must have a lot of faith in OWC, no? -irrational john -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
