So did they return the drive to you? DriveSavers can get data of drives that have been burnt up or drowned. You probably won't want to go through that again; so what you need to know is: CD-R. Superdisks are too small and expensive. CD-R is 640 Megs on a $2 disk, that isn't subject to the ailments that magnetic media all are. On which you are now an expert. Happens to everybody. I hope it was a good two years. =)
