Ali, whatever you do, don't give up hope. It might be that the data can be recovered. If you could replace the drive in another caddy, it might be worth trying, or popping the drive into your PC if it supports another one.
Failing these suggestions that others have also offered, perhaps you could take it to a local shop. I appreciate you might not want your data interrogated if it is confidential, but how else are you going to retrieve it if it is that important?
I do sincerely hope you get the problem sorted. Jackie----- Original Message ----- From: "Ali Amasyali" <alpot@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

When I was buying it, I was told that when we want we could increase the capacity as they put the hard drive together themselves, i.e. hard drive and casing was separate. It has been working fine up until couple of days. I copied some documents over to it then turned it off. However, I tried to turn it on last night without a luck. It is now refusing to turn on. I checked the plug, the switch etc to make sure it is connected. I even opened the casing up to see if any cable became loose. However, everything seems to be fine, but, it is not powering on. All my important documents were on this hard drive and I do not have backup for some of them. I do not want to take it to the shop as I have confidential documents on this drive and I am not sure if I can trust them. Any suggestionsplease?I am desperate! ----------- Thank you.
