I can't help with the data recovery, sorry. However I would consider looking at the cause: if the drive is clicking it's probably that the read/write is striking the platter.This can be caused by heat: is the machine that this drive was in ventilated and cooled enough for it?Drives get hot

I think he's right. He does need to get out of the business. First, the deal with the NICs and speeds isn't MS's fault. That's whoever that hardware vendor is. I've had similar problems. As for the cascading upgrade, that's the way things are. You upgrade one piece and you will inevitably have

I actually appreciated many of the staging and scripting elements of the Bakshi version as well. For example the scene with Galadriel's mirror was much more as I had envisioned: she was lighthearted, always in control and genuinely pleased when Frodo asked her if she'd like the ring.She was

Wizards came before Bakshi's LOTR, and it was merely coloured scenes from the movie Zulu. Fire and Ice used a much more involved rotoscopy technique. I was at a conference years ago and had a few minutes to talk to Bakshi about the technique.He's really gone downhill over the years. I think
