[QUOTE="RandyDSok, post: 168586, member: 201"] It looks like... no change that... I did wait a week too long to replace my secondary drive in my home computer. I used the drive for an internal backup drive and it was also serving as the host drive for the games I just started playing around with. At least that is what it's looking like at this point. While I did loose backups of my systems going back to Windows 98 and the previously mentioned games that I can redownload/install... I'm pretty sure any data that I had backed up is also backed up in a couple of other locations like my external drive as well as what I backed up to my work backup drive. There is also a very slim possibility that if I take the drive controller off and clean the contacts... that I can still recover whatever is there. I'm not feeling too certain about that, currently it's showing as zero bytes available which isn't usually something I've seen recovered from. I could attempt to find a donor drive ( exact same make/model ) and move the platters from this one into the donor, but I don't think it's worth it since I'm finding everything I can recall in other locations.
