always better to have at least 2 copies (on 2 external HDDs) of the same updated stuff!

Yes it is, all my 2Tb external HDDs (about 12) staying away from PC and I don't afraid I'll lost the info, cuz I almost don't use it and as I said before it's not that hard to recover information nowdays...

WOW OH WOW OH WOW.

one of my drives has just failed on me..
it made a whistling sound then when silent.
not even showing up now on my PC..

tomorrow im gonna try and add it to my pc internally and hopefully that will help.
cant use any of the recovery software as i cant even see the drive.

so looking at the situation now looks like im gonna loose all of my livemetallica shows from 2004 to current.
lots and lots of my files and programs

but most importantly all of my digital photos, im gutted so im praying that my internal method will work

:(

There is a magic app I used sometime ago to save the files in my hdd. It's R-Studio.
You can connect your hdd even if not visible on the drives window.
But first you have to get it someway.
