Eric welcome to s-b, and thx for the advice.
A guy i work with said the same thing......went to the comUstore and got the enclosure. and was able to get some data off the old drive, but some on some of the bigger folders, listed alphabetically i lost eveything after the letter d. the files just dont appear.
i pretty much coped everything that i could....thinking about trying the freezer method soon.
BM what exactly are raid disks? i read up on it a bit, from what *little* i understood the are a special type of hard drive (or backup discs) usually used on servers...and it still seemed you would need a specialist to recover the info anyway.

raid is basicly running two hard drives
You can run raid in raid o that what i run on my gaming pc, easy way to say it is it wrights half the program to 1 drive and half to the other
Raid 1 is mirrored so if 1 drive goes down all you do is pop another in and it will automaticly right to the new drive
safe way to go you loose nothing.
im going to get another 250 gig for my 3.4 pc and run it in o
if you hace a good mobo You can run raid 0+1 and sutch.
if Yiu run raid u will need to reformat and windows will ask You if you want to run raid.....

My pics (what was MOST important) i backed up to disc in april, last time my computer was acting up. from there i was able to save about half of my new pictures from the old hard drive. I've lost nearly all of my music files, saved email, 2 1/2 years of fishing logs, my address book and the info in my calender.
When i get the new HD i will want to run the raid 1. Does it take alot of speed from your system?

If you still want to play with it, you could try putting it in the system as a slave drive (let me know if you need instructions on doing that). The system controller may have a better time dealing with the messed up FAT than the USB drivers do. One other tip that may help if you get any further is to restart the system again after you have copied some stuff. I have seen more stuff show up/ and disappear on subsequent boot ups.
