Let me guess Seagate Hard Drive... I had the same problem and was able to fix it. There is a long thread about how to fix it on the internet but you will need some parts to get it going. Coming towards Jasper anytime soon... and is it a Seagate? If it is a seagate go to their website and check if it needs a firmware update.... http://seagate.custkb.com/seagate/cr...p?DocId=207931 . You will need to input the serial number and model number to find out. If it does require the update PM me and I will give you more info towards a possible fix.

If your handy with a screwdriver, remove the HD from the USB case and mount the drive directly in a computer. If the drive is not readable then you will probably have to send it to a data recovery outfit which can be very expensive.

i cant believe i kno this answer!
there is a place on center street on the right side as your coming from downtown its just near the top of the hill, but anyways, they restore lost data from hard drives, i know of a few online utilities but they cost alot,. a very alot. so if you really really need this data that place will do it.

Thanks for the replies. It is actually a Lacie unit, the one shown below:
http://www.lacie.com/ca/products/product.htm?pid=11062 I think it must be a problem with the hard drive itself or else it would of been a quick fix for Lacie. I know that data recovery is a costly process so i was just seeing if any one could help a canreefer out with some "recession pricing". Thanks, Steve

anyone know of a reputable and of course cheapest place for data recovery in bc? i am in the same predictament. my external hard drive failed and even when placed internally my bios does not reconize it although it does power up and spins (possible clicking sounds). this drive contains all of my family photos for the past number of years. i will spend the large $$$ if needed but if i can get it done for cheaper then why not. i'd rather have it done right the first time rather than a failed attempt and possibly losing the data
sorry for the hijack just seeing if any bcers reading this have any suggestions. Last edited by foreverfortune; 05-14-2009 at 08:49 PM.
