I received a "Structure OK" response but I also got "No Partition found." The Drive was also listed as "Empty" (0 bytes). So I figured I was hosed. As a last resort I hooked the external drive to my old (PIII, 1.1 USB) Thinkpad laptop. Lo and behold it assigned a drive letter and all my files are there. The drive is in perfect working order.

Am I to assume I have a controller card issue with my desktop? As an aside, about 3 or 4 weeks ago I was getting a "Kernel Data In Page Error msg., every day, but it went away. I guess I should have paid attention and explored, rather than rebooting. Duh!

I am not a beginner but far from expert. Any thoughts, guys?
