OMG RM4000++? I absolutely would not send it to shop then. Yup, I'm going to buy another external hard drive. However, I really need data from the existing external hard drive. I've read somewhere that I can actually partition the bad sectors? Will it delete the existing data in it? I was really hoping that I can recover back all the data intact. Huhu..

Nope I didn't drop it. I did those 2 things that corrupt my HD, switch it on and off several times and remove the USB cable without Safely Remove Hardware. But I only did it yesterday for the first time. Waaa
I can do recover for 1/2 price Added on June 28, 2008, 3:26 am

BIOS still detect HDD, there always hope for recovery. D.I.Y. = F.O.C.
depend on what you recovering.
for all data, get the new HDD => larger size (e.g. 200GB = 200GB/250GB)
partial document (e.g. *.doc *.xml) any size HDD will do. <= depend yr software support "recovery later"
there many data recovery software, try google.com
my fav getdataback
have u try remove HDD from external casing & plug direct to PC ? sometime could be external casing causing data corruption
