[ILUG] SCSI Disk Failure

[Damian O' Sullivan]

Sorry if this is posted twice - Posted it hours ago and it never made the
list

Ok excuse any silly questions - my head is not working due to large
quantities of beer consumed. 
I have a 50gig SCSI disk (seagate barricuda) that I think may have given uo
the ghost.
I had it mounted read only for about a year and then over the last week it
stopped working. I rebooted the machine and the SCSI bios can see the name
of the drive but cannot do anything else with it. It claims the disk is not
ready. My question (I think) is - Has this happened to anyone else before? I
have tried another SCSI disk on the cable and it is fine. Is there any
company that can fix these for a reasonable price or is the disk gone? I
have about 30gig music files on it so I really don't want to lose it. Quite
depressing and of course no back up.
