I had a similar situation, where I could not get the drive to detect, and this program got it working, and allowed me to copy the entire HD off, sector by sector over a couple of days.

Hi, I've got a problem with one of the hard drives, which unfortunately is not under warranty anymore. It was RMA'ed at Hitachi and worked fine for last 4 months. It was used on G4 workstation with OS X loaded. Yeasterday, drive started to give strange noise which would indicate actuator arm problem (drive is spinning on power up). I've tried to run dft fitness test but motherboard is not able to detect drive. I'm wonderring if any of you could help me find best way to recover, (if possible) all of the data. Sincerely, Peter -- -- The Toronto Linux Users Group.

I've got someone on another list claiming that Istop users *must* use a "reply-to" setting in their mailer as a matter of policy. Can any Istop users confirm or deny this? -- JoeHill ++ ICQ # 280779813 Registered Linux user #282046 Homepage: www.orderinchaos.org +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ "I have the South in front of me and the bankers behind me -- and for my country, I fear the bankers most."-- Abraham Lincoln -- The Toronto Linux Users Group.

But, they do block dynamic IPs, though. Would that in any way require someone to use a "reply-to" setting in their mailer? They are sending from their IStop address, not from their own box.

If you had followed the news of the Debian exploit, you will erealize that it was a kernel exploit, that could only have been done, by a very experienced Black Hat. This was no script kiddie, and the Debian Project takes security very seriously. The fact that the attack was discovered within hours, lends testatment to that. I think you should probably be directing your critique to the kernel developers, whom thought that it wasn't likely someone would use the bug to exploit systems. I guess they were wrong eh? I'm just catching up on my reading, apologies if this is mentioned further down the thread. -- -- The Toronto Linux Users Group.
