[QUOTE="andargor, post: 2787797, member: 7231"] Well, I decided to buy myself a christmas present: a new mobo with 4 SATA ports and 3 x 200 GB drives. RAID-5, here I come! In line with the suspenders and belt concept, I got another DVD+/-RW for that box. Of course, the offsite rsyncs will continue, but this time I'll make sure my critical stuff is included. :) In the meantime, my initial attempt to get my data off the drive failed. I got some, but not what I wanted. The drive is seriously screwed up and seems to deteriorate. Not surprisingly, it seems to be a problem with the electronics: if I put it on a bus with, say, a CDROM, I can't boot from it... It screws up the bus. As the Romans would say, I'm "at the [i]triarii[/i]", and SpinRite is doing its stuff. 11 hours, 24 minutes to go before the moment of truth. Andargor [/QUOTE]
