Here is a problem that I was faced with this week. I got a 1Tb hard drive. It is intermitant as it will suddenly disappear from my system. Partition disappears from window and I am unable to detect the drive in BIOS.
To make matters worst, the last 10 years of my sensitive data is this drive. Least sensitive is my contacts and my emails. This is followed by serial numbers and activation keys for legit software which I have purchased. Then we have log in details for verios websites ranging from MMORPG logins to PayPal to Domain name keys. And to top is all off, all my Tax details, payslips, bills etc etc etc.
Thankfully I have been smart enough to back this drive up. And this drive is still under warranty with the manufacture.
If you were faced with this problem, what would you do?
Also any suggestions in order to get this drive to boot long enough so I can low level format it?
