Any help or advise would be greatly appreciated. I am not a computer genious but I am in a strange situation. I purchased a 160 gig Seagate external hard drive about a year ago to store some files.

The drive was working fine until about a week ago. Every time I press the power button, the drive does not turn on at all. The cord has an adaptor with a green light that deems every time I press the power button to start the hard drive.

Have I lost all the data on the drive or is there any way I can get the data onto another external hard drive? I called Seagate and they told me $1,700 to get the data which I can't afford to pay. Any response or help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
