Welcome to IWETHEY!

New I'm oddly sentimental
...about the one Firewire drive that has meekly spun these past twelve or thirteen years after other, younger drives have failed both at home and at work. This one is more like the legendary Centennial Light in nearby Livermore.

cordially,
New Be careful turning it off.
Things like that seem to like to die when going from power off to power on, at least in my case.

We had an X-ray system die at work this month after it was turned off for the first time in several years (one of the power supplies that seems to die about every 10 years died again). :-/

No doubt you're going to tell me that you turn it off every day. ;-)

Good luck with the transfer. Don't depend on it working though (have other backups)!

Cheers,
Scott.

Take a copy of the contents of that disk whilst it's still spinning.

I've found if I press just the right spot on the base of the laptop while it's running, eCS will crash.
