I'm running an Ubuntu 10.04 box as an SMB file server. Its SATA drive unexpectedly died this afternoon.
Our tech guy said he saw a flurry of "I/O error" message on the screen. Because he could not shutdown properly, he just hit the reset button. After that, we could no longer access the drive. It's even not detected in the BIOS settings anymore. We also tried it with other boxes to see if it can get detected, but failed. Also, it makes a whining sound whenever the BIOS tries to detect it. Could anyone help us with data recovery? We have very important files in it. Our drive: SEAGATE Barracuda 250GB 7200 Serial ATA Help will be greatly appreciated. _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List http://lists.linux.org.ph/mailman/listinfo/plug Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
