OS: Win XP Pro
External Hard drive: Comstar Platinum One touch 500 GB
Bought in June, 2008 worked fine until two weeks ago. I turned off my computer for the night, turned it on in the morning and the drive icon DIDN"T show up, the
drivers, etc are all there and windows tells me they are operating fine.
I have already spoken with Technicians in the Future Shop where I bought this piece of...., and they were absolutely of no help...other than wanting to replace the
hard drive ... which is out of the question. (I have 5 years of work stored in that HD, Personal, legal and business) and MUST find a way to retrieve it. (Will not
make personal comments about their support or policies.) grrrrrrrr.
I have spoken to Teckie types and tried several suggestions ... none helped so far.
PLEASE ... I'm desperate, and would appreciate any expertise. AND, if someone knows of an inexpensive recovery program. The data is all there, it was not deleted. I
Simply cannot unlock the door.
