I work in data recovery and have seen a lot of these drive pass across my desk. As a rule, the failure is usually on the drive circuit board of the hard drive.
If you need the files on the drive, your best bet is a data recovery pro. Reply back with your location(Country, State and City), I'll refer you to a pro near you who can recover your files.
Hope this helps FixYa,
Chris

Hi, each time I reboot Vista 32bit, its like the computer doesn't remember it, the settings have gone (eg the lights which I have turned off come on again) and Vista tells me its found it now what to do. I have checked autoplay settings but this has made no difference.
