Hi,
Having bad luck recently. Had a computer fry on me I was working on. My mom a few hours away lost her hard drive with all her grandchild's photos on it. Now I went to start my external hard drive, can't even remember the reason, I am too mad. It is a San max or enclosed in a san max case, usb, self powered, and has a clear plastic button on the front illuminated with a blue light. Normally I think the button starts a back up sequence with the software. Now when I turn on the hard drive I don't hear it start, it isn't discovered, and the button is blinking blue. Any help would be great. 5 years of college work, research, and girlfriends are on there not to mention saved games and tons of programs, passwords, and other stuff. I thought it will never go bad because I never use it and after building this computer I never bothered to place my old information onto the computer. Would taking it apart and trying to install it as a regular hard drive have a chance of working?
