    Yet another dead HDD discovery

    Had a user with a dying or very close to dead hdd. Failed Maxtor diags. Would not boot into Windows. Slaved it on my computer but Windows refused to read it (kept asking to format it).

    Unfortunatley this person kept their Quicken DB on there and never made a backup. In a last ditch effort, I booted to DOS and was able to see the contents of the drive! I then rebooted to DOS with the NIC drivers and managed to copy all the needed files from the dying drive to the server.

    Probably old hat for most of you - but it made up for my otherwise sh!t day.
