[ILUG] SCSI Disk Failure

[Ruairi Newman]

There is a company in Dublin that can recover the data for you, though I
can't remember their name (If it comes to me, I'll mail you back).   However
you might not care enough for your MP3 collection to pay by the Megabyte for
its recovery.

As regards repairing the disk, no doubt there are people who have the
facility to repair it, but it will be cheaper to buy a new one, I'd (almost)
guarantee it.

Regards,

Ruairi
