I presume they might be able to rescue the data, but there would be a high cost I believe. Sandisk still have not told me what doing my card would cost.

Yesterday it started making whirring sounds and couldn't be recognized by either my laptop or desktop. Today it won't even come on. I tried switching out cables and power supplies with other Seagates that I know work. Nothing. It's under warranty but if I send it back, I lose almost two months of scans, over 500GB, and 8 GB of photos that I downloaded from cards last week and had not yet backed up :-( (I know that's stupid, but it's a brand new drive and I was going to back it up before I leave town on Friday.) If I open up the case and try to see what's wrong, I void the warranty. Has anybody got any suggestions for bringing this thing back to life before I send it back to Seagate? I'm not a happy camper this morning. Tina Tina Manley www.tinamanley.com _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
