The disk is a Western Digital Caviar 1.6 GB and is the secondary drive on a PPro 200. The machine was accidently powered off and now whenever the machine boots, the kernel stops and I need to run fsck manually, when I run fsck manually, it says: w1s1e: hard error reading fsbn3016199 of 3016176-3016287 (w1s1 bn 3016199; cn 748 to 4 sn 11) (status59(rdy,seekdone,drg,err) error 40) /dev/rwd1s1e: CANNOT READ: BLK 3016176 I have run the diagnostic software from Western Digital and it says to return the drive for warranty, but I was hoping someone might know of a trick or have some advice on how to make her work or at least pull the data off. If there is anymore info I can provide, please let me know.
