I'm a big fan of "innies" and IMO they shake a LOT better.

Better go put my hard drive in the freezer.

Did you shake your dong at it first?

I screamed "Beetlejuice" three times at the top of lungs, I clacked my heels together on the yellow brick road, and shook my dong so hard it almost fell off, but the damn thing still didn't come back to life!

Off to the landfill it goes. Newegg is Fedexing a new Seagate as we speak.

Got True Image... I now need to overcome the access denied aspect... I've logged in with same login & PW but on different computer. any suggestions for breaking in???

[driviere]

True Image + HD enclosure + a new HD + an ice cold one = success!!!
I was able to get the HD working enough for True Image to work its magic.
To overcome the access issue, I had to load the image onto a new HD and put back into the laptop. I now have access to the "denied" files and it appears that ALL files are intact.
Thank you once again for all your help!
