I had the same problem with a 250 Silver model Iomega. All of a sudden it did 
have any date on it. (3000) mp3 songs. Because it was out of warranty they said 
I would have to a 3rd party company to try and retreive what they could. I sent 
the drive into the 3rd party company to see what they could do for me. 
They wanted $1600.00 to try and restore what they could. I told them to keep 
the drive because they wanted me to pay shipping cost of $35.00 to get back a 
dead drive. I still own (5) Silver (250) gig drives. I will be selling them on 
E-Bay soon. I am switching over to Western Digital (125) pocket drives. Nothing 
higher than (125) gig drives. I will never buy another Iomega product. I have 
been using these (pocket drives) from Western Digital. I have (7) now and I 
back the same info to another drive. I have two drives with the same info. It 
is costly but it is worth it in my computing business. "Fool me Once" I have 
been fooled. "Fool me Twice" I am?the Fool. never again.??

Hi,?
?
My Iomega 500Gb external USB is on the blink/expired...?
I've removed it from the box & hooked it up directly to the IDE lead & it shows 
up in XP Win Explorer but I can't access it.?
Have tried Ranish on it & it shows it as being formatted as FAT16 & having no 
data.?
Anybody know any useful software that I might try to get my data off it...?
It's a Seagate make of HD.?
Thanks in advance...?
Mark?
