Re: Laptop HD help
Have you considered booting the laptop up with a Knoppix disk and offloading the data to a network share? Or is the laptop itself dead? -N > My brother's laptop HD is dying..

Re: Laptop HD help
Ohhh, that's a good idea. The drive is starting to click, and being the typical computer user, he has no backups.. It doesn't click often so there is probably hope to get most of the stuff off before it totally dies off.

Re: Laptop HD help (Tom or Ben, please read this one)
Damn, it's DEAD! That actually worked, I was able to mount it, but once I tried to go anywhere on the drive I got the click of doom. Ben or Tom, do you have the contact info of that hard drive place we would send drives to for Net Tech. My brother wants to go that route, the drive had all his books for his business on it.
