hoi!
my little used powerbook harddisk just stop working over night.
i put my powerbook to sleep, went to sleep myself, and next morning the pb woke-up, but instantly froze.
after i restarted the machine, the only sound from the HD was the spinning of the platters, nothing else and the 'no bootable disk found' -logo appeared.
does anyone have experienced something like this, and is there maybe some trick to at least get some data off the drive?
also, are there any 'environment variables' that could cause HD-failure?
because this is the 3rd HD in a few weeks.. i knew the first 2 had had their best time, but this 3rd one is relatively new, and very little used...
