Title: Strange sound from my Maxtor 500GB external disk View count: 11010 Rating: 5.0 (12 ratings) Description: Original text: "I think my Maxtor Onetouch III Firewire 400/USB2.0 (500gb) external disk has crashed.. The drive letter shows in windows after quite a while, but not the volume label. And if I click on it it says it cant access the drive due to an "I/O (I/U) Error" and it sometimes asks for a new formatting... And then there are this little repeated "melody" sound that sometimes occur. Does this tune come from a mechanical error inside?? This is my backup disk for everything and its really a bad thing that it is gone... :( Hope I will find a way to restore some of the data.. Any ideas??" How I managed to recover the data: "After a week of hard work I managed to get out everything I needed from the disk in the video. I tried a huge amount of recovery programs until I had to buy Seagates own File Recovery DIY software. Along with the recovery program I used a method of placing the disk in the fridge so it got cold (not frosty and icy. the frost can melt and damaged the disk further) and then rush to the pc and connect the disk and copy out as much as i could before it got warm again. It worked for me. Dont give up!" Tags: maxtor, 500gb, onetouch, external, drive, disk, crashed, melody, sound, backup, crash, recovery, tune, ideas, clicking, Author: jaswane |
