After about 18 months, my Acomdata 320GB HD stopped working. The blue light still comes on, but I get an invalid USB device error when I turn it on. I took the HD out of the enclosure (since my warranty long since expired) and plugged it directly into my computer via an IDE cable. Windows knows it's there but can't assign a drive letter to it, so it's unaccessible. Does anybody know if it's possible to buy a new housing and plug the hard drive into it to make it work? I know the data's there & the hard drive works, it's the encryption thing that's keeping me from accessing the drive outside of the case. It's really important that I get the files off of this drive because it has 5 years worth of pictures of my son growing up and all of my music files. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
The drive may have failed..... they can often be "fixed" long enough to retrieve data. i make alot of money from failed maxtor hard drives.
