If it gets full it isn't going to fail. What exactly leads you to belive it is going to fail?
Hi,
Too late! I got this message of imminent disk failure a week ago. It was my slave drive D but last WE, after I've transfered all my data from D to C/E (my master drive) I was the victim of a power surge apparently and C/E broke down before I had time to transfer everything onto a new hard drive that I got last Friday...
Without a CD burner, I've never saved my data so I've lost several months, maybe a few years of data...
On a discussion board, I've been suggested to buy exactly the same HD in order to extract the engine from it and mount it onto the old one. Tonight, my teacher in A+ said to me that usually when a power surge occurs, the data are corrupted...
I was banking on that last possibility given that recovering these data from a company would cost me £750!!! Unthinkable...
