Lost hard disk
A week ago I lost contact with the (300 Gig) Maxtor One Touch hard disk. Filled with my favorite movies and all of y -back up- pictures it was vital to recover communication.After browsing on the Internet I found that especially Maxtor has this problem and the error: lost I/O contact, drive not formatted is a very common one. Solution on the Maxtor website: tough luck, buy a new one and pray it won't happen again...
After a hour high level google search I found the solution: simple as chkdsk /F...
All the bad index sectors were quickly repaired and all of the 300 Gig data is recovered :-))
Hopefully it will continue to be stable.
