Finally my trusty old Maxtor 160 GB external 2.5" went kaput yesterday and whenever i connect it now, it says the drive needs to be formatted to be used again, i haven't formatted as i need the data on it. Anyway i can recover it ?
screet and beep(kind of) sounds are coming from the hard drive from some days, does this mean it is about to die ? even the warranty is over any DIY to repair it ?
glad u got your data back. just format it and use it again.
