Wow. Thanks for the info! And I see they have a combo deal. I may have to try this product. It’s way cheaper than $2,000!
My old drive has been just sitting there for two years (I was going to have it cryogenically frozen until they could find a cure). I’m a graphic artist and I had several years worth of work on that 250 Gig drive. In the meantime, I’ve had to recreate a number of jobs from scratch when necessary ever since. Ouch!
Backup, backup, backup.

You’re most welcome. $100 for the software, $100 for a 500 gb external (the one I have but haven’t opened yet is 500 gb, with USB 2.0, FW400, and eSATA ports on it), and (at most) $50 for an external case, and (perhaps using a spare machine), you should be able to recover your files. At least the software will tell you what it can do. And having a 500 gb around for offline storage and regular backups isn’t bad either. The terabyte drives are also coming down.
