    I recently lost 400gb of music due to accidently dropping my hard drive (I'm an uber clutz:mad:) Anyway, seeing as the bones of my music is trapped inside a metal box probably never to be recovered, I was wondering if any of you know a web site where you can stream albums online? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I dropped about 3 feet on a wooden floor but luckily it was not on at the time. Yes it is in a protective metal case. I think it is functioning. It turns on and looks to be working fine (sounds the same etc) but the usp output is not working so my computer does not recognise it when I plug it in. I think the internal connection where hard drive sends the info to the usp cable is damaged. I know very little about hardware etc so I could be wrong. I'm in Limerick. Thanks for your concern.

    Um. Hard to know. Could be the internal bits of the enclosure at fault, or the hard drive may have been knocked. Do you know is the hard drive inside a 2.5inch or a 3.5 inch hard drive?

    There's a maplins in Limerick which should have such cheap harddrive enclosures. You should be able to pick up an a basic USB enclosure for about €40, but you'll need to know what (physical) size the hard drive inside is. Popping it in that would let you know if the hard drive is f**ked, or if your current enclosure is f**ked.
