Allan, I saw that you reported the drive ended up failing today. This won't help you get data back, but I would check the purchase date on the drive--if I remember correctly, most drives have a three-year replacement warranty and you can send that one back to get a new one. No need to go through dealer--just contact the drive maker directly. You can also check the warranty status online for Western Digitals and probably others too. Back to data salvage--if the drive is not mechanically dead--(rod knocking sounds), you may be able to resurrect it with a rescue program or drive utility program. Another option--if the drive is accessible but not bootable, you can install a temporary boot drive and copy files over to the new drive. First though, you'll need to set the jumper on your old drive to a slave and the new drive a master. Also will have to changes things in CMOS or SETUP. I used to work on computers, but haven't fooled with them in awhile. Last comment--$5K is a bunch of money for a new computer--I could get two high-end rigs for that amount....
