How long had you had the HDD?  They only usually last from 2-4 years.  I had a hard drive that lasted for 5 years, then randomly went out (without warning).  And when it died, it was so fucked that we couldn't pull anything off it the standard way, so now it's a paperweight.  I could have sent it to a professional lab to have them make an attempt, but that usually costs about $1500-3000. Some hard drives are just bad.  Some of them get damaged over time (remember, it's spinning at a really high rate of speed for years at a time), or just wear out. { Wiki ~ Tumblr } Until I die I'll sing these songs On the shores of Babylon Still looking for a home In a world where I belong Where the weak are finally strong Where the righteous right the wrongs Still looking for a home In a world where I belong -- Switchfoot "Where I Belong"
